Peer reviewedWalford, Geoffrey – Physics Education, 1981
Presents examples of sex bias in the illustrations, questions, and texts of a selection of recently published physics textbooks. Indicates that in spite of the Sex Discrimination Act of 1975, some texts are clearly biased such that physics is presented as a male rather than female subject. (SK)

Peer reviewedTaylor, J. – Physics Education, 1979
Information from a small survey of physics textbooks suggests that girls are underrepresented in the text and in illustrations. Suggests that if the pattern is apparent in all physics textbooks, then this may be an indication of the cause of a paucity of girls in the physical sciences. (SA)
