Kelly, Patricia R.

Journal of Reading Behavior, v18 n3 p243-56 1986

Examines the effect of the content of reading material on students' perceptions of reading as masculine or feminine. Finds that during the second grade, students' views on reading change from sex-neutral to more feminine than masculine, and that the content or genre of the reading material influences this perception.
