Who the Boys Are: Thinking About Masculinity in Children's Fiction.
Nodelman, Perry
New Advocate, v15 n1 p9-18 Win 2002
Reveals an absence of a section for books about non-homosexual masculinity. Notes that there has been growing interest amongst academics in exploring masculinity lately, including the heterosexual kind. Suggests that phallic masculinity defines maleness as natural and fixed--what one is born with--and that therefore it represents the complete and absolute opposite of femininity. (SG)
