Sexism in children's books : facts, figures & guidelines : papers on children's literature. No. 2 / edited by the Children's Rights Workshop ; illustrations by Lee Robinson.

The articles collected in this book show what is meant by sexism in children's books and present powerful statistical evidence of its frequency and power. These articles constitute some of the best American work in this field and include the first systematic British study of sexism in reading schemes. Finally, the McGraw-Hill Guidelines show how to begin to recognise and combat sexism in literature and in the use of language.
