GENDER ROLES IN DIANA WYNNE JONES'S WRITING
Abstract
Second-wave feminism, which began in the early 1960s, has raised concern about representation of gender issues in children's literature and made writers, critics and teachers talk about gender stereotypes and their impact on young readers' sense of personality. The British author Diana Wynne Jones, who started publishing her fantasy books for children and young adults in the 1970s, gives her own opinion about gender roles in the modern society based on her own observations.
