One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others - Gender Bias In Children's Books
I listened as Rocky read a Dr. Suess book to our girls tonight. She stopped at one point and said, "Oh great - not even a wife - just a bride. Something you are for one day." She looked at the publish date, hoping it was from the 50's at least. Nope. 1980.
I hope we've come further in the last 30 years.

Perhaps you need some newer books. Mine were born in the 80's and I don't recall having books like this. I do remember "The Paper Bag Princess". it was also written in 1980.
