Description: “Children’s books have a significant place in children’s development, as they contribute
to shape their identity, aspirations, and expectations of gender roles in families, and
society.
However, the majority of the books represent a world full of traditional, binary, and
stereotypical gender roles (boys described as active and domineering, girls described
as sweet and conforming, etc.).
What can librarians do to challenge male and female stereotypes, promote positive
role models, and celebrate gender equality?”
