Throughout academia, textbooks are commonly utilized by teachers to convey new information to students of all ages. Textbooks, therefore, have a profound impact on what individuals believe to be true as they mature from childhood into adulthood. Emily Martin, a prominent anthropologist at New York University in Manhattan, believes that the content in some of these textbooks is problematic as they perpetuate stereotypical gender roles that still exist in society today. Specifically, in her article The Egg and the Sperm: How Science Has Constructed a Romance Based on Stereotypical Male-Female Roles (1991), Martin discusses at length the portrayal of egg and sperm cells during the reproductive process by various textbooks.
