Summary/Abstract: After a period of struggle in the area of literary academic studies, children’s literature has finally established itself in the domain and has been gaining popularity - with researchers and readers alike. This article aims at shortly discussing the history of children’s literature and its affirmation as a valuable research field. Its main focus is on trying to answer the following question: can we talk about feminism in children’s literature, is there such a thing? And if so, does it represent a landmark of identity in the broader context of the literature for children? The hands-on examples offered in this article come from the European space, namely public and private schools from Iasi, Romania.
