Abstract

Textbooks are important materials through which students receive their values. The different editions of textbooks domestic and abroad to some extent influence the perception of students by both genders, which might become a serious obstacle to the process of gender equality. This paper reviews and analyses the similarities and differences between the texts and illustrations of gender stereotypes presented in different textbooks not only in China but also in other countries. This paper found that there are significant quantitative differences in the frequency of gender representation, including the diversity of roles played and the amount of textual representation of gender stereotypes in different textbooks. The number of males in these sections is much higher than the number of females. The selection of appropriate teaching materials, the raising of teachers’ awareness of gender equality and the reform of the curriculum are important so that gender inequality can be addressed in textbooks.
