Abstract | The purpose of this introductory unit is to examine the patterns of sexual stereotyping in children's books and the ways in which they reinforce inequality, to consider possible benefits and anticipate problems of change, and to examine the possiblility of an alternative children's literature supportive of sexual equality in education. The book proposes setting up a workshop and examining educational opportunities for boys and girls; using suggested techniques for analyzing traditional sex-role stereotyping in children's picture books; asking participants to search for examples of roles and images contrary to the usual stereotypes; discussing the fact that more female role models are needed in literature and suggesting possible solutions; discussing stereotypes in the classics and methods of dealing with it; discussing education as the solution to sexual inequality; and de-stereotyping fairy tales that are sexist. The book presents conclusions and techniques used in group discussions on sexual stereotypes. (RB) |
