Resum

The objective of this article is to detect the gender bias contained in the images of the coursebooks of English as a Second Language of two prestigious publishing houses at Secondary Education level. Based on some specifc indicators, a longitudinal study is conducted to provide quantitative information on the stereotypes and models presented to the students. In addition, this information is complemented by a qualitative analysis based on an adaptation of Cunningsworth´s model (1995). In the light of the data obtained, a longitudinal and comparative study is carried out to determine how gender inequality is refected. Indications for future intervention are suggested.
