Illustrators: Kate Greenway Clothing Illustrations--Gender Identification with Pinafores


Figure 1.--The child in the pinafore is clearly a girl. Note the two younger children in dtresses besides her. Their gender is not clear. The hair style could be worn by a boy or girl and as they do not have any headwear ther are no other clues available.

Clearly the older children in dresses wearing pinafores are girls. Sometimes they are depicted in white bonnets. Surely these children are girls. HBC has also noted younger children in pinafores. The gender of these children is ambigous. HBC has not been able to determine if the gender is specifically indicated.
