The Social Representation of Material Culture and Gender in Children's Books.

Crabb, Peter B.; Bielawski, Dawn

Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v30 n1-2 p69-79 Jan 1994

Examines the gender-typed portrayal of material culture in Caldecott Award children's books published between 1937 and 1989. A large proportion of female characters used household artifacts, and more male characters used nondomestic artifacts. Implications of such gender-linked modeling are discussed. (SLD)
