Preferred term

gender representation in cartoons  

Definition(s)

  • Research focusing on gender representation in children's cartoons received some notable interest in the 1970s, with some follow-up in the 1990s, but it has not received much attention since that time. Current research indicates that gender stereotypes persist, although female characters are shown more often and in a greater variety of roles.
