Althouse Scarry

I found this interesting site comparing the 1963 and 1991 versions of Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever via Althouse. The main difference is that both women and men are engaged in a wider variety of employment and activities in the 1991 version. Althouse suggests this is "political correctness."

The alterations are an accurate reflection of positive changes in society for women, and the changes probably make the book more apealing and marketable to book-buying consumers. That Althouse would characterize this as "political correctness" would tend to suggest anti-feminism.
