Abstract:Content analysis of children's Halloween costumes explored how children's fantasy dress reproduces and reiterates conventional gender messages. Both male and female costumes contained high proportions of heroes. Feminine costumes were clustered in a narrow range depicting traditional femininity, with higher proportions of animals and foodstuffs. Masculine costumes emphasized warriors and tended to feature villains. There were few gender-neutral costumes. (SM)
