An 80s Look for Sex Equality in Caldecott Winners and Honor Books.

Dougherty, Wilma Holden; Engel, Rosalind E.

Reading Teacher, v40 n4 p394-98 Jan 1987

Analyzes Caldecott winners and honor books of the 1980s and compares the findings to those of earlier studies to discover if the depiction of sex roles and characteristics has changed. Concludes that the newer books reflected a shift toward sex equality and provided some changing sex characteristics and roles--but not enough. (FL)
