Tales and picture books: female's (in)visibility in children's and youg people's basque literature from the twenty-first century

Abstract

In Basque Literature for Children and Young People has been an increase of the female presence in both authors and protagonists. This feminization of the Literature for Children and Young People has occurred in all areas but, above all, in the awarded works and albums. We analyze not only the quantitative increase of the authors -writers and illustrators-, but also the image of the woman that is offered in the new works.
Keywords: Children’s and Young People, feminization, awarded works.
