Like the concept of childhood, children’s literature is very much a cultural construct that continues to evolve over time. It comprises those texts that have been written specifically for children and those that children have selected to read. However it plays a vital role in shaping the personality of a child.The world is introduced to children through literature.Fiction gives them an idea of values that keep the world going. Thus one can find that the representation of males and females in novels contribute to children’s idea of what means to be a boy, girl,man or woman. In many instances we find that the disproportionate number of males in central roles may encourage the children to accept the invisibility of females, and thereby reinforcing the gender system. Gender role is a theoretical construct that involves a set of social and behavioral norms that defines individuals of a specific sex and writers do contribute by using their own constructs too.
