This is "What is Women's Language?" (2023) by translator Kyoko Hirano.

The Japanese word for women is the embodiment of the "aesthetics of gender" that is deeply rooted in the Japanese people. The author, who has been in contact with German and English for many years as a translator, examines the history and role of the Japanese word for women, and breaks the spell of gender differences.

Starting from language, this book explores how we, who live language-based lives, are bound by words, and unravels the differences between men and women and the differences in language (Ammel).
