Subject: text for language and gender

I need suggestions on a book for the language and gender portion
of a general intro to sociolinguistics. For the students I have
(beginning grad level with an unbelievable variety of backrounds,
from business majors and law students to disgruntled sentence
parsers), I would like something resonably short, approachable,
with lots of examples, and no particular axe to grind.
Suggestions are most welcome.
