Proportion of the 200 words most strongly associated with each gender, according to PMI, that fall into each category, separated by pre- and post-1900 birth dates of biographies. Women tend to have more words related to family, gender and relationships than men. However, the distributions are significantly different only pre-1900 (\(\chi^{2} = 14.33\), p<0.01); the chi-square test is not significant on the post-1900 dataset (\(\chi ^{2} = 5.43\), p = 0.14).
