Sexist textbooks: Automated analysis of gender bias in 1,255 books from 34 countries
Fig 5
Verbs most likely to be used for each gender, by region.
Note: This figure shows the share of occurrences of verbs used to describe people, which were used for female terms or nouns. We show here the 12 verbs—to be precise, the lemmas of verbs—which were the most skewed toward either gender across UK/US/AUS, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa, provided that they occurred at least 5 times in textbooks for each region. Shares are shown separately for each region.
