Láadan

Láadan is a constructed language intended in part to better express women's experiences. Suzette Haden Elgin introduced Láadan in her novel Native Tongue.

It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.
— Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd
