Non-Sexist Education for Young Children: A Practical Guide

The Women's Action Alliance, established to help translate the growing awareness of sex discrimination into concrete actions and improvements in the lives of women, directed a study of sexist influences and practices in child-care centers in the New York City area and worked with four volunteer centers to develop and test nonsexist materials and programs for young children. Separate chapters of this book discuss the following topics: the background of the nonsexist child-development project; early childhood development; involving parents in the examination of sexism in language, in television programs, and in early childhood education; the creation of nonsexist environments for young children; units of study for nonsexist early education programs; and nonsexist materials for use with young children. Appendixes provide an annotated bibliography of nonsexist picture books, a bibliography of selected nonsexist readings, and a checklist for a nonsexist early education classroom. (Gw).
