Toys and Tools in Pink: Cultural Narratives of Gender, Science, and Technology

Role: Author

In this work, Carol Colatrella analyzes female character types that recur in fictional narratives in print, on television, and in the cinema: female criminals and detectives, mothers who practice medicine, and “babe scientists,” among others. It also investigates how narrative settings and plots both subsume and influence cultural stereotypes of gender in prescribing salient professional and personal codes of conduct in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields.
