Teaching Female Representation in Young Adult Fiction


In our seemingly progressive world, we still suffer from a lack of representation for many groups of people. One of these groups is women, and while there have been more and more well represented roles for women seen in our media, there are still some issues that we will need to overcome. Issues that are demonstrated in Young Adult fiction, one of the most popular places to discuss these ideas of Gender, Politics, and Representation to the youngest generation. As future teachers, it is therefore our job to take advantage of this popular genre in order to properly demonstrate these issues of Gender inequality found in our society.
