Investigation coursework into gender - theories???

I am beginning my investigative coursework and have chosen to see whether the language on the blurbs of children/young people's books can influence one gender to purchase the book more than the other. I have a list of many theorists but I am struggling to 100% link them to my investigation - like Judith Baxter/Butler, Deborah Cameron, R Barthes and Janet Hyde to name a few. I was wondering if anyone else had any thoughts on this or they knew of any other theorists. I also know all the theorists have to have written work and not have studied on spoken language, which I'm not sure if any of the ones I have mentioned actually have studied spoken or written language. Hope someone can help!!!!!
