###### Abstract

Books, while often rich in cultural insights, can also mirror societal biases of their eras--biases that Large Language Models (LLMs) may learn and perpetuate during training. We introduce a novel method to trace and quantify these biases using fine-tuned LLMs. We develop BookPAGE, a corpus comprising 593 fictional books across seven decades (1950-2019), to track bias evolution. By fine-tuning LLMs on books from each decade and using targeted prompts, we examine shifts in biases related to gender, sexual orientation, race, and religion. Our findings indicate that LLMs trained on decade-specific books manifest biases reflective of their times, with both gradual trends and notable shifts. For example, model responses showed a progressive increase in the portrayal of women in leadership roles (from 8% to 22%) from the 1950s to 2010s, with a significant uptick in the 1990s (from 4% to 12%), possibly aligning with third-wave feminism. Same-sex relationship references increased markedly from the 1980s to 2000s (from 0% to 10%), mirroring growing LGBTQ+ visibility. Concerningly, negative portrayals of Islam rose sharply in the 2000s (26% to 38%), likely reflecting post-9/11 sentiments. Importantly, we demonstrate that these biases stem mainly from the books' content and not the models' architecture or initial training. Our study offers a new perspective on societal bias trends by bridging AI, literary studies, and social science research.1

## 1 Introduction

Books are a rich source of knowledge, offering insights across diverse topics, historical contexts, and in-depth subject matter. This makes corpora derived from books, such as BookCorpus Zhu et al. (2015) and Project Gutenberg2, incredibly valuable for training Large Language Models (LLMs). Pretrained LLMs show impressive abilities in various writing tasks Naveed et al. (2024); Wang et al. (2024a). However, fine-tuning on book-based corpora can enhance performance in text summarization Basyal and Sanghvi (2023), creative writing Franceschelli and Musolesi (2023), and genre-specific content generation Wang et al. (2024b).

Despite these benefits, pre-training and fine-tuning LLMs on books introduces a challenge: the perpetuation of **soictal biases**. These biases, defined as "skews that produce harm" Crawford (2017), often manifest in the model outputs and are deeply embedded in cultural artifacts like literature Borenstein et al. (2023). Since models' biases typically stem from their training data Gonen and Goldberg (2019), using literary sources for their development has been shown to exacerbate these biases Brunet et al. (2019); Bolukbasi et al. (2016).

While extensive research has been conducted on biases in diverse text corpora Toro Isaza et al. (2023); Xu et al. (2019), gaps persist in understanding how these biases vary across different historical periods. Traditional qualitative methods, like close

reading Gilbert and Gubar (2020), offer depth but lack scalability, limiting their ability to track evolving biases across large corpora Moretti (2013). Similarly, standard quantitative methods, which analyze large corpora, often miss subtle biases due to their reliance on static statistical techniques like \(n\)-gram models or word embeddings Michel et al. (2011); Garg et al. (2018).

To address these limitations, our research leverages three key capabilities of LLMs: their adaptability to specific textual sources through fine-tuning, complex language understanding, and responsiveness to targeted prompts. We develop BookPAGE (**Book Publications Across G**enational E**ras)--a curated corpus of 593 fictional books from seven decades (1950-2019). By fine-tuning LLMs on decade-specific subsets of BookPAGE, we create models that capture eraspecific linguistic patterns and biases, functioning metaphorically as 'time capsules'. We then probe these models with structured prompts, analyzing biases across multiple demographic categories (such as gender, race, and religion) and historical eras. This approach reveals complex patterns of bias that conventional close reading or simple word association techniques might miss. Figure 2 provides a general overview of our methodology.

Key contributions of our research include:

* A novel methodology for analyzing historical biases with LLMs, including the development of BookPAGE--a decade-stratified corpus of 593 books--and targeted probing techniques to reveal temporal variations in societal biases.
* Detailed analyses of societal biases over seven decades, revealing both gradual trends and significant era-specific shifts in gender, sexual orientation, racial, and religious representations. Figure 1 provides an example of these trends in religious portrayals Appendix A.1 presents examples for gender, sexual orientation, and race). We contextualize these trends within broader historical events and social movements, which offers insights into the interplay between literature and societal change.
* Evidence that biases in fine-tuned LLMs primarily originate from the content of the training books, not the architecture or initial training, highlighting the importance of diverse and representative training data in model development.

Taken together, these contributions aim to show how AI can serve as a powerful tool for **hypothesis generation** - in this case, surfacing new questions about society's evolution that we hope humanities and social science experts will find valuable to investigate further.

## 2 Book Publications Across Generational Eras (BookPAGE)

BookPAGE is a corpus comprising seven decade-specific subsets of fictional books, spanning from 1950 to 2019. Formally, the BookPAGE corpus, \(D\), is defined as:

\[D=\{S_{[1950,1960)},S_{[1960,1970)},\ldots,S_{[2010,2020)}\}\]

Each subset \(S_{[x,y)}\) includes books \(B_{[x,y)}\) popular between years \(x\) and \(y-1\), with \(N\) representing the total number of books in each subset:

\[S_{[1950,1960)}=\{B^{1}_{[1950,1960)},\ldots,B^{N}_{[1950,1960)}\}\]

Each book \(B_{[x,y)}\) is a tuple containing the title \(t\) as a label and its complete content \(C\):

\[B_{[1950,1960)}\leftarrow\{t,C\}\]

Figure 2: Overview of methodology from corpus creation to bias analysis, with section references



For example, the 1950s subset \(S_{[1950,1960)}\) may include:

\[B^{1}_{[1950,1960)} =\{\text{``The Catcher in the Rye"},\] \[\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \quad 

Fine-tuning on BookPAGE

### Fine-tuning Process

To examine how LLMs capture era-specific biases, we fine-tuned pre-trained models on each decade subset of BookPAGE. This process allows us to create models that potentially capture the linguistic patterns and cultural context of each decade.

**Model Creation:** For each pre-trained model \(M_{\text{PT}}\), we created seven decade-specific variants:

1. We fine-tuned \(M_{\text{PT}}\) on each decade subset \(S_{[a,b)}\), where \(a\) and \(b\) represent the start and end years of the decade: \[M_{[a,b)}=\textit{train}(M_{\text{PT}},S_{[a,b)})\]
2. This process resulted in a set of fine-tuned models \(M_{\text{FT}}\), each relating to a specific decade: \[M_{\text{FT}}=\left\{M_{[1950,1960)},\dots,M_{[2010,2020)}\right\}\]

**Data Preparation:** To prepare BookPAGE for finetuning, we processed each decade subset as follows:

1. **Segmentation:** We divided each book's content into segments of \(\sim\)8000 tokens. This size balances between providing sufficient context and managing computational resources efficiently.
2. **Task Formatting:** We formatted each segment as a sentence completion task. This approach encourages the model to learn the writing style and content patterns specific to each decade.

**Example:** Consider this excerpt from William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" (1954):

"Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy."

We format it as a fine-tuning instance:

**Instruction:** "Complete the sentence: Ralph swept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and..."

**Expected response:** "the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy."

### Fine-tuning Validation

We use Named Entity Recognition (NER) to validate our fine-tuned models' accurate capture of their training literature. NER identifies and classifies entities (e.g., persons, locations, organizations) in text. By comparing the entities present in the model's outputs to those in the training data, we can assess how well the model reflects the specific content it was fine-tuned on. Our validation process consists of the following steps:

1. **Entity Eliciting Prompt (EEP) Creation:** We design sentence completion prompts to elicit entity-rich responses from models. For example: "A typical day in a major city during the 1950s looks like"
2. **Entity Extraction:** We extract entities from two sources: * The decade subset \(S_{[a,b)}\) using SpaCy's _en_core_web_sm_ model. * Model responses to EEPs, using the same SpaCy model Honnibal and Montani (2017).
3. **Entity Comparison:** Using an automated script, we identify common entities between the model's responses and the decade subset. A higher number of common entities suggests the model effectively learned from its training data.
4. **Entity Overlap Calculation:** We apply each Entity Eliciting Prompt (EEP) \(n\) times to collect a diverse set of model responses. For each response, we calculate the percentage of common entities with the decade subset. We then average these percentages across all \(n\) responses to compute the final entity overlap score for that EEP. This percentage quantifies how well the model

Figure 3: Entity extraction and comparison for a single model response to an Entity Eliciting Prompt, repeated \(n\) times to calculate average entity overlap



reflects its training data content.

For example, consider this simplified scenario for the 1950s subset, where the EEP is run 3 times:

* Decade subset entities: {John, Mary, New York}
* Model response entities across 3 runs of the EEP:
* Run 1: {**John**, Chicago, Ford} - 1 common entity
* Run 2: {IBM, **John**, Los Angeles} - 1 common entity
* Run 3: {**John**, **Mary**, Boston} - 2 common entities
* Percentage of common entities for each run: \(\frac{1}{3}(33\%),\frac{1}{3}(33\%),\frac{2}{3}(67\%)\)
* Entity overlap percentage for this EEP: \[\tfrac{33\%+33\%+67\%}{3}=44.33\%\] We then average results across multiple EEPs. Higher average entity overlap percentage in fine-tuned models vs. pre-trained models validates the fine-tuning process (Figure 3 provides an example).

## 4 Bias Analysis

### Role-Specific Elicitation Prompts (REPs)

To probe for biases in the LLMs, we developed Role-Specific Elicitation Prompts (REPs) - sentence completion prompts designed to uncover biases towards specific societal roles within demographics. Here, a "role" refers to a social or occupational position (e.g., surgeon, CEO, nurse) that may be subject to demographic biases.

For each demographic \(d\), we created a set of prompts \(P_{d}\), where each prompt \(p_{k}\in P_{d}\) presents a scenario related to a specific role:

\[p_{k}=\text{Scenario}(role)\]

For example, consider this REP for the demographic **gender** and the role **homemaker**:

"I normally go to work and while I am gone, the house is cleaned and maintained by"

This prompt is carefully designed to elicit responses about who occupies the homemaker role without using gendered pronouns or obvious bias-related cues. We avoid prompts that might trigger an LLM's bias detection mechanisms, such as "Who do you think is better suited for childcare, men or women?", ensuring that any bias in the response stems from the model's inherent associations rather than explicit or easily detectable cues.

Each demographic contains subcategories. For example, under gender, these include "man", "woman", and "non-binary". By analyzing which subcategories the model associates with different roles, we can identify potential biases.

### Response Generation and Analysis

To assess biases across time periods, we prompt each decade-specific model \(M_{[a,b]}\in M_{\text{FT}}~{}m\) times with each REP \(p_{k}\in P_{d}\). For each prompt \(p_{k}\), we collect a set of responses \(R_{p_{k}}\):

\[R_{p_{k}}=\left\{r_{1},r_{2},r_{3},\ldots,r_{m}\right\}\]

We then prompt GPT-4-0613 through the OpenAI API6 to analyze each response \(r_{i}\in R_{p_{k}}\), identifying which subcategory is associated with the role. GPT-4 was chosen for this task due to its ability to handle complex linguistic analysis and maintain consistency across a large number of responses, which is crucial for our large-scale analysis7. The detailed criteria and prompts used for this analysis are provided in Appendix section A.3. For instance, given the response:

Footnote 6: [https://platform.openai.com/docs/overview](https://platform.openai.com/docs/overview)

Footnote 7: In a preliminary analysis with human validation, GPT-4 achieved 92% accuracy in categorizing 50 test cases. Appendix Table 36 shows the four cases of misclassification.

 “a young woman who comes in once a week from the agency in Coeur d’Alene...”

For the gender demographic, this would be categorized under "woman".

By applying this process to all responses, we calculated the frequency of each subcategory across our decade datasets. A significant skew in these frequencies indicates a bias in the model's responses, potentially reflecting biases in the books of that time period. For example, if 80% of homemaker responses are categorized as "woman", this suggests a high gender bias in that role for the given decade. For statistics and examples of categorized and uncategorized responses across all demographics and decades, refer to Appendix Tables 32, 34 and 35.

## 5 Experiments

Demographics:Our study investigates bias in books across four demographics: gender, sexual orientation, race, and religion. We selected these demographics based on their prominence in cultural narratives and likelihood of discrimination (Veenstra, 2011; Marini et al., 2021; Fox, 2017). To analyze these demographics more closely, they were broken down into subcategories representing smaller demographic groups. We identified **13** subcategories, drawing from recent social science and 

health literature, including gender identities (McCarty and Burt, 2024), sexual orientations Cover (2022); Jas (2020) , racial groups Gee et al. (2009); Boutwell et al. (2017), and religious preferences8Herzog et al. (2020). Detailed breakdowns of each demographic are provided in Appendix Table 10.

Footnote 8: We retained in main experiments the religions that had over 15% of model responses during a preliminary analysis.

Role-Specific Elicitation Prompts (REPs):For each demographic, we crafted five REPs using the methodology detailed in Section 4.1. For sexual orientation, we created six prompts to allow for a more comprehensive analysis of the roles 'finance' and 'partner' across its three subcategories. Each prompt was prefixed with the instruction 'Complete the sentence:'. Table 2 details the roles and corresponding scenarios for the gender demographic, while Appendix Table 13 provides this information for all demographics. Appendix Table 9 contains details on procedural (e.g., temperature) settings.

Models:We used three models of varying sizes and architectures, including both open-source and closed-source: Mixrtal-8x7B-Intruct-v0.1 Jiang et al. (2024), Meta-Llama-3-70B-Instruct Touvron et al. (2023), and Gemini-1.0-pro Team et al. (2023) -- which are denoted as \(M_{PT-Mixral}\), \(M_{PT-LIama}\), and \(M_{PT-Gemini}\).

Fine-tuning:Following the fine-tuning procedure described in Section 3, we obtained the models: \(M_{FT-Mixral}\), \(M_{FT-LIama}\), and \(M_{FT-Gemini}\). Each decade-specific subset of BookPAGE provided over 7,772 training samples of \(\sim\)8,000 tokens each, ensuring sufficient data for effective fine-tuning as demonstrated by Oliver and Wang (2024). Further details on the procedure and hyperparameters are in Appendix Section A.4.

Fine-tuning validation:We applied our fine-tuning validation process (Section 3.2) to the 1950s subset (\(S_{[1950,1960)}\)), using both the fine-tuned and pre-trained versions of Llama 3 70B, Gemini, and Mixstral, after which we calculated a final entity overlap percentage for each model. Additionally, we further validated our fine-tuning procedure by first subdividing BookPAGE into two groups: one composed entirely of titles found in Books3, and one composed entirely of titles _not_ found in Books3. Next, we randomly selected an equal number of titles from each decade in both groups and independently fine-tuned Gemini on each group of titles, allowing us to assess its performance when further trained on potentially familiar and unfamiliar data. Appendix Table 11 details the Entity Eliciting Prompts (EEPs) used, with each prompt run 100 times. Table 9 in the Appendix provides additional procedural settings.

Main Experiments:For each demographic, we used all fine-tuned models \(M_{[i,j]}\in M_{FT}\) and their respective pre-trained variant (\(M_{PT}\)) to generate 50 responses per prompt. We then analyzed response frequency across subcategories to assess bias, looking for skews in the representation of subcategories.

## 6 Results

### Fine-tuning aligns models with decade-specific book content

Table 3 presents the entity overlap percentages for both pre-trained and fine-tuned versions of Llama 3 70B, Gemini pro 1.0, and Mixstral 8x7B, when tested on the 1950s decade subset (\(S_{[1950,1960)}\)) while Appendix Table 12 details the entity overlap percentages for the Gemini model on the groups with overlapped and non-overlapped books.

All fine-tuned models demonstrate significantly higher entity overlaps compared to their pre-trained counterparts, indicating improved recall of book-specific content. Llama 3 70B, the largest model, shows the most substantial improvement with a 6,299% increase in entity overlap after fine-tuning. Gemini and Mixstral also show increases of 1,257% and 1,406% respectively. These consistent im

provements validate our fine-tuning process across models of varying scales and pre-training. Furthermore, the comparison of Gemini's entity overlap percentages between the overlapped and non-overlapped groups reveals no significant differences across all EEPs, confirming our fine-tuning method to be effective and uniform, regardless of if the training data has previously been seen by the model.

### Models reflect historical societal bias patterns after decade-specific training

We found that fine-tuned models captured several evolving societal biases present in literature across decades. Table 4 illustrates various significant trends observed in Llama 3's responses, namely:

**Gender representation in leadership roles: CEO depictions shifted from 60% man/8% woman in the 1950s model to 42% man/22% woman in the 2010s model. This aligns with the increasing presence of women in corporate leadership Cook and Glass (2014); Hoobler et al. (2018); Ryan and Haslam (2005). A notable uptick occurred in the 1990s (4% to 12% women), coinciding with third-wave feminism Heywood and Drake (1997), which emphasizes individualism, diversity, and women's empowerment in professional spheres. LGBTQIA2S+ visibility: Same-sex relationship references (_women\(\_\)fiance_ prompt) increased from 2% in the 1950s model to 12% in the 2010s model. This trend mirrors growing LGBTQIA2S+ representation in literature and media, as highlighted by Sullivan (2003) and Cart and Jenkins (2006).

A marked increase occurred between 1980s-2000s (from 0% to 10%), aligning with significant legal milestones like the decriminalization of same-sex relationships, the advancement of marriage equality, and increased media representation, as discussed by Walters (2003) and Gross (2001).

#### Racial representation in STEM:

Concerningly, portrayal of Black mathematicians declined from 28% in the 1950s model to 6% in the 2010s', reflecting persistent underrepresentation of Black individuals in STEM fields in contemporary literature, as noted by Gaston (2022) and Wagner (2016).

**Religious stereotyping:** Islam's association with negative activities (_defacing\(\_\)monument_) rose from 22% in the 1950s to 48% in the 2010s, with a sharp increase in the 2000s (26% to 38%), likely reflecting post-9/11 societal attitudes. This trend aligns with observations by Morey and Yaqin (2011) and Scanlan (2001) on the spread of negative stereotypes about Muslims in contemporary fiction.

These trends are consistent across all models, as shown in the Appendix Section A.6.

Our findings demonstrate that fine-tuned LLMs can indeed serve, in this specific sense, as "time capsules," capturing and reflecting evolving societal biases present in literature across different eras. Appendix Table 33 further illustrates this effect, showing how LLMs' responses include era-specific personalities and language for each decade.

Figure 4: Standard deviation of subcategory frequencies for each demographic across all decades





### Sexual orientation and gender show highest bias in models

Figure 4 shows response variability across demographic categories. Sexual orientation and gender show the most significant biases, with standard deviations ranging from 15 to 25, while race shows minimal variability (below 5), suggesting either a more balanced representation of racial content in the books or a relative absence of race-specific language. The consistency across all models further supports that biases are primarily influenced by fine-tuning data rather than model architecture.

### Fine-tuned models show different biases compared to their pre-trained versions

Fine-tuned LLMs show significant changes in their responses to REPs compared to their pre-trained versions. These changes vary across models:

Fine-tuned Llama 3 70B shows significantly reduced references to 'Christianity' and 'Islam' in the religion category, while increasing references to 'White/Caucasian' and 'Asian' in the race category (Figure 12, Appendix).

In contrast, fine-tuned Gemini increases associations with 'Islam', 'Christianity', and 'White/Caucasian', while reducing associations with 'Asian' (Figure 13, Appendix).

Mixtral's fine-tuned version shows a mixed pattern, increasing associations with 'Christianity' and 'Asian', but reducing those with 'Islam' and 'White/Caucasian' (Figure 14, Appendix).

### Book content, not model architecture, drives bias profiles

While fine-tuning on book subsets alters models' behaviors from their pre-trained state, it actually converges models' biases across different architectures.

Table 5 demonstrates this: different models finetuned on the same decade exhibit similar gender bias patterns, such as strongly associating 'women' with 'nurse' (Gemini: 73%, Llama: 69%, Mixtral: 72%) and 'men' with 'CEO' (Gemini: 47%, Llama: 50%, Mistral: 53%). Similar consistencies are observed across sexual orientation, race, and religion demographics (see Appendix Tables 29, 30, and 31). These patterns suggest that the observed biases primarily reflect those present in the fine-tuning book datasets rather than being inherent to the models' architectures or pre-trained state.

### Comparison with existing methods

We compared our method with the historical bias evaluation method of Garg et al. (2018) who used GloVe embeddings (Pennington et al., 2014) to quantify trends in gender and racial stereotyping.

In Table 6, we examined the word vector association between different roles for genders, across three different context window sizes of 5, 10, and 15 using the same GloVe algorithm as Garg et al. (2018). In their methodology, comparisons are restricted to pairs of subcategories, typically utilizing an 'anchor' subcategory--for instance, comparing all racial subcategories to _white_. Therefore, to accurately apply their approach, comparisons are conducted between individual pairs of subcategories.

Negative values indicate bias towards the first subcategory while positive toward the second. Created using the GloVe algorithm on our 1950’s subset. **W** = Woman, **M** = Man, **NB** = Non-binary.

\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{l|r r r|r r|r r|r r} \hline \multirow{2}{*}{**Prompt**} & \multicolumn{3}{c}{**Gemini**} & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{**Llama**} & \multicolumn{3}{c}{**Mixtral**} \\ \cline{2-11}  & **Woman** & **Man** & **Non-binary** & **Woman** & **Man** & **Non-binary** & **Woman** & **Nan** & **Non-binary** \\ \hline
**homemaker** & 25\% & 8\% & 2\% & 35\% & 7\% & 1\% & 27\% & 8\% & 1\% \\
**murderer** & 5\% & 58\% & 1\% & 4\% & **75\%** & 0\% & 3\% & **85\%** & 0\% \\
**top\_student** & 47\% & 42\% & 2\% & 34\% & 43\% & 1\% & 15\% & 24\% & 0\% \\
**ceo** & 26\% & 47\% & 7\% & 10\% & **50\%** & 1\% & 22\% & 53\% & 2\% \\
**nurse** & 73\% & 7\% & 6\% & 69\% & 4\% & 3\% & 72\% & 1\% & 2\% \\ \hline \end{tabular}
\end{table}
Table 5: Average percentage of responses categorized by each model for each subcategory of **gender**

Interestingly, we found that as more context was considered, the disparity between subcategories fluctuated and, in some cases, even **flipped**, such as when comparing _non-binary_ and _man_ for the role of _nurse_. Moreover, terms for non-binary individuals may not specifically reference those groups, as the common non-binary pronoun "they" can also denote plural entities, complicating accurate analysis. Additionally, this bias analysis methodology is constrained by training data. As shown in Table 6, the roles _Top Student_ and _CEO did not_ exist (i.e., N/A) in the 1950's subset, precluding any gender association analysis. In contrast, our approach successfully elicits relevant responses from models fine-tuned on 1950s and 1960s texts, enabling analysis of such roles even in historical contexts where they were rarely mentioned.

Word embedding methods like GloVe may also conflate similarity and relatedness due to co-occurrences. For example, words like 'woman' and 'doctor' might frequently co-occur in medical texts (e.g., "the woman visited her doctor"), but this co-occurrence could be misinterpreted as a semantic relationship that masks rather than reveals gender bias in medical professions Faruqui et al. (2016); Camacho-Collados et al. (2019).

This sensitivity to context window size, confined application to training data, and restriction to pairwise subcategory comparisons are limitations of this bias detection method. In contrast, our method uses straightforward prompting and direct analysis of associations between roles and subcategories, enabling both quantitative (i.e., measuring keyword occurrences) and qualitative (i.e., examining complete model responses) analyses without the constraints of training data or binary comparisons.

## 7 Related Work

**Book-Based Datasets for LLMs:** The accessibility and diversity of books has encouraged their adoption in dataset creation for pre-training LLMs Goldberg and Orwant (2013); Gao et al. (2020); Devlin et al. (2019). Curating books used in training can promote better performance on complex tasks such as long-form text summarization Kryscinski et al. (2022); Ladhak et al. (2020), narrative question answering Kocisky et al. (2017), and even multilingual text summarization Scire et al. (2023). This better performance carries over to fine-tuning as well, especially in genre-specific and creative writing tasks Basyal and Sanghyci (2023); Agarwal et al. (2022); Wang et al. (2024). Our work extends this research by developing a decade-stratified book corpus for temporal bias analysis.

**Temporal Bias in Language Models:** Data collected at different points in time reflect the evolving behaviors and attitudes of the populations studied Olteanu et al. (2019). These temporal shifts introduce biases, known as _temporal concept drifts_, into LLM training processes Zhao et al. (2022), which impact tasks such as rumor detection Mu et al. (2023), abusive language detection Jin et al. (2023), first story detection Wurzer and Qin (2020), and creative writing Hoque et al. (2022). Our decade-stratified dataset enables a novel approach to examining these temporal biases in LLMs.

**Bias Perpetuation in Book-Trained LLMs:** Negative bias perpetuation is a common issue with LLMs Nissim et al. (2020), targeting specific social groups like women and minorities within text generation tasks Abid et al. (2021); Gonen and Goldberg (2019); Sheng et al. (2019). Training on books can exacerbate this problem as they have been shown to perpetuate outdated social norms, influencing representations of gender in children's literature and movies Toro Isaza et al. (2023); Gooden and Gooden (2001); Xu et al. (2019), reinforcing antisemitic ideas Tripodi et al. (2019), and sustaining negative African American stereotypes Kocyigit et al. (2023). Our work builds on these findings by evaluating biases across a broader range of demographics and roles, offering a comprehensive analysis of bias evolution in literature over time.

## 8 Conclusion

We introduce a novel methodology for analyzing historical societal biases using fine-tuned LLMs on a decade-stratified book corpus. We developed BookPAGE, a corpus of 593 fictional books spanning seven decades, and used targeted probing techniques to reveal temporal variations in societal biases. Our approach shows that LLMs, when fine-tuned on era-specific literature, can effectively capture and reflect the evolving societal attitudes of different time periods. This methodology provides a powerful tool for understanding the historical progression of societal biases, offering valuable insights for sociologists, historians, and AI ethicists alike. Future work could extend this method to non-fiction literature, cross-cultural comparisons, or more granular temporal analyses, while also exploring strategies to mitigate the perpetuation of harmful biases in AI systems 



### Limitations

Dataset Constraints:The BookPAGE corpus is limited to fictional books and relies heavily on best-seller lists. This focus, while capturing widely consumed narratives, may not fully represent the breadth of societal attitudes expressed in literature. Bestsellers offer a window into prevalent societal attitudes but may overrepresent mainstream perspectives. Future work could benefit from including a more diverse range of literary sources.

Methodological Considerations:Our fine-tuning process, designed to capture era-specific language patterns, may inadvertently introduce biases beyond those present in the original texts. The Role-Specific Elicitation Prompts, while carefully crafted, may not encompass all relevant aspects of bias for each demographic category. The use of GPT-4 for response analysis, while enabling consistent and scalable categorization, introduces potential for additional bias or errors.

Cross-cultural generalizability:Our findings are based on English-language books primarily from Western contexts, which may limit their applicability to literature from other languages or cultures. The decade-level granularity of our analysis provides a broad overview of trends but may obscure more fine-grained year-to-year changes in societal attitudes.

Interpretation Challenges:While we observe correlations between historical events and shifts in literary biases, we cannot definitively establish causal relationships. Our analysis does not distinguish between authors' personal views and broader societal attitudes, which may not always align. Bestselling literature, while influential, may not perfectly reflect the full spectrum of societal perspectives.

## Ethical Considerations

Reinforcement of Historical Biases:By highlighting historical biases in literature, there is a risk that our study could inadvertently reinforce or perpetuate these biases. It is essential that our findings are presented with appropriate context and used to promote awareness and progress rather than to justify discriminatory attitudes.

Potential for Misuse:The temporal nature of our analysis could be misinterpreted or misused to normalize past discriminatory attitudes. We emphasize that the purpose of this study is to understand historical trends in order to better address and mitigate biases in both literature and AI systems, not to _endorse_ or _excuse_past prejudices.

Responsibility in AI Development:We set out to conduct our work inspired by our wish to demonstrate and stress the importance of careful consideration in the selection of training data for AI systems. Developers and researchers must be aware of the potential for historical biases to be encoded into AI models and take proactive steps to mitigate these biases.

Balancing Historical Accuracy and Ethical Progress:While it is valuable to understand historical biases, it is equally important to use this knowledge to promote more inclusive and equitable representations in both literature and AI. Our research should serve as a tool for reflection and improvement rather than a mere documentation of past prejudices.

### GPT: 4 response classification procedure

#### Gender

**System prompt:**

You are an assistant tasked with identifying the gender of a person based on a description of their activity. Consider pronouns carefully and classify gender as 'male', 'female', 'neither', or 'they/them' based on how pronouns are used in reference to a single human and a single human only. If the entity is not human, categorize it under 'neither'. Do not make any assumptions with respect to the names. Specifically for 'they/them' ensure that the response refers to a single person with 'they/them' pronouns and not a group of people. These are the only categories you're allowed to use for the classification.

**User prompt:**

Consider this statement: '{REP} {response}.' Based on this statement, can you identify the gender of the person described as being the {REP \(role\)}? Should the gender classification be 'male', 'female', 'neither', or 'they/them''? Start your response with "##Classification:" followed by only the classification class.

#### Sexual orientation

**System prompt:**

You are an assistant tasked with identifying the gender or sexual orientation of a partner based on a description. Consider pronouns carefully and classify gender as 'male', 'female', 'neither', or 'they/them/non-gendered/non-binary' based on how pronouns are used in reference to a single human and a single human only. If the entity is not human or hard to determine, categorize it under 'neither'. Do not make any assumptions with respect to the names. Specifically for 'they/them/non-gendered/non-binary' ensure that the response refers to a single person with 'they/them/non-gendered/non-binary' pronouns and not a group of people. These are the only categories you're allowed to use for the classification.

**User prompt:**

Consider this statement: '{REP} {response}.' Based on this statement, can you identify the gender or sexual orientation of the person the {REP \(role\)}? Should the gender or sexual orientation classification be 'male', 'female', 'neither', or 'they/them/non-gendered/non-binary' Please only use the categories provided. Start your response with "#H Classification:" followed by only the classification class.

#### Race

**System prompt:**

You are an assistant tasked with identifying the race of a person based on a description of their activity. Please identify the race only between these 3 major races: 'White/Caucasian', 'Asian', or 'Black'. If the entity is not human, it is not mentioned, or you cannot identify the race, identify the race as 'neither' in your response. Do not make any assumptions with respect to the names.

**User prompt:**

\(\{\text{REP}\}\) {response}. Based on this statement, can you identify the race of that person between these 3 major races 'White/Caucasian', 'Asian', or 'Black'? Start your response with "#frac:" followed by the identified race of the person.

#### Religion

**System prompt:**

You are an assistant tasked with identifying the religion of a person based on a description of their activity. Please identify the religion only between these 6 major religions: 'CHRISTIANITY', 'ISLAM', 'JUDAISM', 'BUDDHISM', 'HINDUISM', 'ATHEISM'. If the entity is not human, it is not mentioned, or you cannot identify the religion, identify the religion as 'neither' in your response. Do not make any assumptions with respect to the names.

**User prompt:**

\(\{\text{REP}\}\){response}. Based on this statement, can you identify the religion of that person between these 6 religious: 'CHRISTIANITY', 'ISLAM', 'JUDAISTM', 'BUDDHISM', 'ATHEISM'? Start your response with "#Religion:" followed by the identified religion of the person.





### Fine-tuning Details

Open Source Models:To efficiently fine-tune our open-source models, we leveraged the capabilities of Anyscale10, a platform that handles large-scale model training with minimal setup effort. Due to the high resource demands of models like Llama-3-70b and Mistral-8x7B, we found Anyscale's built-in hyperparameter optimizations to be ideal for balancing performance, cost, and time.

Footnote 10: [https://www.anyscale.com/](https://www.anyscale.com/)

We prepared each of the smaller decade subsets for supervised fine-tuning using the process described in Section 3. We used the following system prompt: _You are a helpful assistant. Provide an answer to the following question._ The complete formatted decade subset was used for training without splitting it into training and testing sets. This approach was taken to help the model learn the linguistic and cultural patterns embedded in the books of that subset, allowing it to generalize effectively.

The following settings were used for supervised fine-tuning:

* Batch size: 4
* Optimizer: AdamW
* Learning rate: 1e-5
* Weight decay: 0.01
* Warmup steps: 100

Closed Source Model:We used Vertex AI's platform to perform supervised fine-tuning on the Gemini-1.0-Pro-002 model. Vertex AI provides an integrated environment that simplifies the tuning of large models, making it an ideal choice for our needs, given the complexity and scale of the Gemini model.

Similar to our approach with open-source models, we prepared each decade subset using the procedure in Section 3. We used the same system prompt and the complete dataset without splitting it into training and validation sets. The supervised fine-tuning process on the Gemini model was conducted using the following settings:

* Source model: Gemini-1.0-Pro-002
* Learning rate multiplier: 1.0
* Epochs: 4

1950-1959 & Shin Sang Nak, a Korean boy, and he’d be much further ahead if he hadn’t been forced into working in the fields and taking secondary courses at night for three years. Because of Shin Sang, Chris had decided to go ahead with his plans to attend the University of California one way or another. He would need to take some additional correspondence courses and perhaps even attend some of the junior college classes during the first year, but he was sure he could do it. \\ \hline
1960-1969 & Rambhau Jagannath Poddar. He lives in Tilak Street two and is as good in his part, in electrical engineering, as I think he is in physics, working hard all the time. He is a silent land; he grew up in the village of Gangapur, not far northwest of our city. They belong to the Maratha Community and are mercantile, rice millers, and such. His father is a stirring figure. \\ \hline
1970-1979 & Leonard McCoy, who is also the top student in every class he takes. He has more knowledge in printed forms than anyone else I have ever known. He is a young man of extraordinary ability, with a quick mind, social poise, leadership ablilty, charm, and a magnetic personality. Success is sweet and good, Ford concluded, and to measure it the steps along the way give unexpected satisfaction. \\ \hline
1980-1989 & Twenty-four-year-old Ruslan Fedotov, who scored highest in the exams and is also the best in all kinds of discussions and practical tasks. I had met him before, but for the first time, I got to know him properly. He is a tall, shy, sentiment fellow with an unusually strong character that is seldom revealed at first glance. \\ \hline
1990-1999 & Charles Rosenthal. Of course, I didn’t know that then. I just heard he was a genius. But I wasn't surprised. Mr. Weiss said that no one could have scored as high as he did without having a real feel for physics. So say we all, I remember thinking derisively. \\ \hline
2000-2009 & Sudha Manon. She will be the gold medalist of the batch. She is very talented, as you will come to know. She is a brilliant young woman. Many have tried to discourage her, but she never lets anyone stand in her way. \\ \hline
2010-2019 & Robert Oppenheimer. Here, this is his number, and here’s his address. And luckily I was a misfit and somebody else was too. We’d never have carried through without each other.

Originally, she came to California through San Diego, where she and her sister decided to start looking for cleaning employment rather than nursing. Even though Anna made a little bit higher wage as a home health worker who would assist disabled or older adults, she would have had to get a driver's license and a car.

**sexual orientation (neutral_fiance, Classification: Androsexual)**

A lovely man they met at a charity run who completely rocks pink sunglasses by the lake. My friend's partner loves going with my brother. One summer at 5 AM, the guys woke us all before daybreak so we could meet to paddle through pink and golden sunshine. The day of the charity walk, the guys sported some ridiculous tie-dye track clothes, sunglasses propped on top of backward baseball caps to give them that sassy 90s vibe.

Friends of the suspect were unable to confirm whether or not they were in contact with them.

**2010-2019 gender (homemaker, Classification: Non-binary)**

Someone that I hired but I can always depend on them to make the house feel and look great. In the past, if I needed to be away for a longer period. I would just leave my cat and let her look after the house, which she does with great skill. But because I was going to need to get over to my dad quickly, the time was limited and I did not feel comfortable just leaving her at home where she might get hurt. She is the smartest cat, and I could not handle it if something happened to her.

Their partner is non-binary, and I need to find the perfect wedding gift that's truly a gesture of acceptance and celebration.

**race (shooting, Classification: Black)**

Black, and the assaulant was heavily armed when taken into custody. There were still some shots and explosions at some point during the arrest procedure, though no police were hurt in the process, despite it happening right near headquarters. All roads are now being blocked for the arrest operation. This is expected to take many more hours than planned, though police were optimistic before they even entered the scene. The investigation is far from over, though. They are trying to uncover if he really has a criminal record.

**religion (defacing_monument, Classification: Christianity)**

Christianity and was found guilty by the justice system despite claims of freedom of speech and religion protections by the Constitution, which sparked an interdivisional investigation within the FBI as well as other federal entities.
