Question: How are women
depicted in literature?
Answer: “Of the 171
selections analyzed, only 24had female authors; most stories depicted women in
the traditional roles of housewife and mother; females shown as fully developed
characters were either pre-menstrual or post-menopausal; women shown as
professionals were teachers—‘old maids’ and heartless people.” G Hurst. 1973.
P. 404.
Comment: Would the same be true today (2012)? How about in the media? RayS.
