Boys and Girls at Play: The Development of Sex Roles

A fresh and provocative approach to the ongoing "nature/nurture," "How shall we shape the playspace?" debate, this persuasive and controversial book illustrates and analyzes, in colorful detail, children's developing perceptions of their own-and the other sex's-gender identity. The authors conclude that efforts to modify traditional sexual stereotypes might more effectively be directed toward a later stage of development than that of the preschooler, if at all.Pitcher, Evelyn G. is the author of 'Boys and Girls at Play: The Development of Sex Roles' with ISBN 9780897890557 and ISBN 0897890558.
