This book has some good information on the basics of gender bias. It was written in the 90’s so some of the information is a bit out of date, but (sadly), most of it is still very relevant today. Crawford did a good job focusing on various topics such as issues for boys, sexist language, and how to cope. I did like the appendixes in the book which were “Nonbiased, Inclusive Language”, “Research Summaries” (on girls and boys), and “Famous Women in History”. This first focuses on problems with language used and replacement words, which was very helpful. I also enjoyed the last appendix, which give brief information on a variety of women (not just white women). Overall, a good read with some important information, if a little bit out of date.
