Both often deal with being seen as weak and placed towards the bottom of a hierarchy. In this way feminist ideas are regularly found in the structure of children's literature. Feminist criticism of children's literature is therefore expected, since it is a type of feminist literature. Feminist children's literature has played a critical role for the feminist movement, especially in the past half century. In her book Feminism Is for Everybody: Passionate Politics, bell hooksstates her belief that all types of media, including writing and children's books, need to promote feminist ideals.

The presence of feminism in children's literature has evolved over the years, but the overall message and goals have remained consistent.
