AB  - This study examined five Palanca winning stories for children written by Filipino male writers from 1990 up to the present using a feminist stylistics approach.  The study aimed to describe how male writers portrayed the main female characters in the stories.  The study made use of Deirdre Burton's Feminist Stylistics Model and Michael Halliday's Systematic Functional Grammar, more specifically the concept of transitivity, in order to 'understand the ways in which all sorts of "realities" are constructed through language' (Burton, p.230).  The transitivity processes that have been performed b the characters and have likewise affected them were analyzed to identify how women were portrayed in the stories.  The results showed that the analysis of transitivity processes can reveal how female characters portrayed in short stories for children.  The main female characters in the stories were generally portrayed as passive and submissive to other characters, but they were at some point given strength and power as well.  The research also shows that Burton's model of analysis is can be applied to children's stories and that it can be a way in to a text.
