Abstract

The traditional roles assigned to men and women in domestic and public spheres generally follow a binary sexist pattern. By contrast, other points of view understand gender and sex as cultural constructions. These trends are also found in children literature and diverse academic researchers have studied the impact of these texts on schooled children.

For this paper, children’s short stories, in both English and Spanish, have been selected to show the new perspectives in gender. The theoretical contributions provided by Bourdieu, De Beauvoir as well as Butler are incorporated to their analysis.
