TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the 19 Caldecott medal and honor book selections from 1972 to 1979 for the presence of sexism in terms of ratio offemale to male pictures and characters, sex of the main character, inclusion of females in the book, and sex-role portrayal and characterization.
Abstract: Changes in female sex-role stereotyping since the Weitzman et al. (1972) review of the Caldecott children's book selections are assessed in this study. The 19 Caldecott medal and honor book selections from 1972 to 1979 are examined for the presence of sexism in terms of ratio offemale to male pictures and ch'aracters in the book, sex of the main character, inclusion of females in the book, and sex-role portrayal and characterization. The analyses show that while the ratio of female pictures and characters had improved considerably since 1972, role portrayal and characterization had not changed. These results are discussed in terms of the impact of symbolic modeling and the resistance of cultural values to the introduction of egalitarian sex roles.

TL;DR: This paper examined the relations among gender, policy preference, and policy formation and found that women's and men's differing world experiences might mold political attitudes and shape a broad range of policy outcomes rather than those centering around women's issues only.
Abstract: TU YNDERSTANDING how women's lives shape their political attitudes and affect their policy orientations remains a significant challenge for today's social science. The different social experiences of women and men appear to affect not only individuals (Chodorow 1974; Weitzman 1975; Dinnerstein 1978; Brooks-Gunn and Matthews 1979; Gilligan 1982) but also institutions, through the design of hierarchical structures and through the application of particular governing rules and norms (Keller 1979; Ferguson 1984; Menkel-Meadow 1987). In an attempt to uncover the specific political impacts of socialized gender differences, political scientists have scrutinized female officials' voting behavior, support of women's issues, selfprofessed feminism, and family status, among other "gender-related" variables. However, scant attention has been given to examining how women's and men's differing world experiences might mold political attitudes and, ultimately, shape a broad range of policy outcomes rather than those centering around women's issues only. As a consequence, these approaches are neither adequate nor explicit in accounting for the impact of "gender driven" factors in the formation of public policy preferences. This exploratory study examines the relations among gender, policy preference, and policy formation. The first section begins by reviewing and contrasting current political and psychological approaches to assessing and interpreting gender differences. Following is a critique of political science methodologies as generally unsuitable for capturing the subtle complexities of gender differences. The second section links psychological theories of gender differences in moral decision making and the political context by creating two attitudinal constructs hypothesized as gender-related. Drawing

22 Sep 2009TL;DR: Theatre has often served as a touchstone for moments of political change or national definition and as a way of exploring cultural and ethnic identity as mentioned in this paper, and this book explores how the theatre, in formal and informal settings, responded to these events.
Abstract: Theatre has often served as a touchstone for moments of political change or national definition and as a way of exploring cultural and ethnic identity. In this book Steve Wilmer selects key historical moments in American history and examines how the theatre, in formal and informal settings, responded to these events. The book moves from the Colonial fight for independence, through Native American struggles, the Socialist Worker play, the Civil Rights Movement, and up to works of the last decade, including Tony Kushner's Angels in America. In addition to examining theatrical events and play texts, Wilmer also considers audience reception and critical response.

Abstract: A partir d'un corpus de 23 pieces ecrites depuis 1824, l'A. decrit les fonctions de 3 marqueurs d'obligation forte en anglais americain : got to, utilise pour des obligations motivees par les interets personnels du locuteur, have to pour des obligations objectives et logiques et must pour des obligations associees a des attentes societales et des relations interpersonnelles. La relative frequence de ces marqueurs a change radicalement ces 170 dernieres annees et est reliee a d'autres changements dans le systeme modal. L'A. considere les hausses et les baisses dans la frequence relative avec laquelle ces formes ont ete utilisees comme une preuve d'un processus general de changement dans la frequence avec laquelle differentes significations sont exprimmees dans la langue
