Construction of Gender in Primary Literacy Resources: A Study of Readers for Hong Kong Early Learners

The present study arises from the belief that early school readers play a major role in the socialization of children’s lives and their gender development. Given that schooling is an important medium of reproducing cultures and of perpetuating the existing mechanisms of domination, the present study aims to examine how males and females are represented in early readers.
