Pirates for Boys, Princesses for Girls

An amazing data analysis of children’s literature by Süddeutsche Zeitung reveals that they are full of gender stereotypes. Keywords such as princess, magic, rainbow and unicorn were typically found in books for girls while boys’ books had keywords such as treasure, captain and adventure. More often than not, male protagonists in the books had more relation to “travel” while female protagonists were linked to “falling in love.” (In German.)
