Allen, Ann M.; And Others
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v7 n2 p67-73 Spr-Sum 1993
Caldecott Medal Award picture books were examined to determine whether the pictures and text presented children with stereotypical or gender-dependent sex-role behaviors. The books examined showed that sex-role stereotyping has decreased over time but still remains prevalent in each of the 11 categories used to evaluate the books. (TJQ)
