{"product_id":"females-and-harry-potter-ruthann-mayes-elma-9780742537798","title":"Females and Harry Potter: Not All That Empowering","description":"This book explores the sexism inherent in the Harry Potter series, books in which a hero and his male friends are the focus and center of activity and the female characters are passive enablers-at best. Using critical discourse analysis and focusing on five themes (rule following\/breaking, intelligence, validating\/enabling, mothering, and resistance), the author explores the construction of traditional gender roles throughout the books. She concludes with a discussion of the implications for development of school curricula that enable students to critically deconstruct these texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruthann Mayes-Elma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 074253779X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780742537798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.06w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 302","brand":"Ruthann Mayes-Elma","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46747588755711,"sku":"9780742537798","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_258bc93d-ab78-4dee-9e8d-82fc34fde921.jpg?v=1743584182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/females-and-harry-potter-ruthann-mayes-elma-9780742537798","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
