reviewed Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: The Construction of Gender in Children's Literature on September 21, 2009 Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: The Construction of Gender in Children's Literature
I will buy almost any of Lehr's anthologies of articles on a subject, because I know I'll find the most thought-provoking opinions on literature for kids and teens under her aegis. There will be critical thinking on and by my favorite authors, teachers, librarians, and critics, and they'll be dealing with my favorite subjects--like this one, which is my favorite. There is plenty to think about in these essays on how we teach girls to wait for princes, frivolity in middle grade series books, developing female characters in historical fiction, gender in picture books, and so on. And there are author and illustrator profiles that illuminate the articles, including people like Fred and Patricia McKissack, Gary Paulsen, and Karen Cushman.
There is a lot of thought-provoking stuff that challenges our assumptions and asks us to break out of the standard molds. The book is very readable, and I think anyone who's interested in writing or teaching lit for kids and young adults, or working in their libraries, will find this a book worth reading.
