The quantitative content analysis by Janice McCabe and her colleagues found that there was a significant decrease in the presence of female characters in children's literature when feminist mobilization weakened. Therefore, the hypothesis supported by the study is that when feminist mobilization weakened, fewer girls appeared in children's literature. Option A and B are incorrect because the study did not find a relationship between the presence of girls in children's literature and the state of the economy. Option D is incorrect because the study found that feminist mobilization weakening was associated with a decrease in the presence of female characters.
