Nudd, Donna Marie

Communication Education, v40 n1 p49-59 Jan 1991

Analyzes undergraduates' interpretations of a short story that presents a relatively balanced argument between a man and a woman. Finds both male and female students arrived at androcentric readings by solving text ambiguities in favor of the male character. Presents methods that encourage students to recognize and reevaluate their reading strategies. (KEH)
