She added that many parents will choose to read books to their kids that they enjoyed reading when they were children, which contributes to 'outdated viewpoints of masculinity and femininity as well as gender roles'. 'The majority of the books shared by educators in this study promoted traditional, binary and stereotypical viewpoints of gender and gender roles,' she wrote in her study. 'This can contribute to children from these families and backgrounds feeling excluded or marginalised,' the senior researcher claimed.ĭr Adam stated that the books she flagged weren't the issue, but rather that educators and parents often relied on these books over new books that include diverse stories and characters. 'Purely and simply this research shows, there's a lack of representation of boys and girls in non-traditional gender roles in these books,' she explained.ĭr Adam said the books did not present gender diverse or ethnically diverse characters and were usually told from a 'white, male perspective'. Many of the books were 'older' and first published in either the 1950s or 60s, which Dr Adam says are reflective of 'outdated viewpoints and lifestyles' and conveyed rigid gender stereotypes. ![]()
