Schoolbooks are a fundamental element in students' upbringing. Hence the importance of the male and female rolemodels they portray. Our case study corpus comprises highschool teaching manuals of history and philosophy for the 2010/2011 terms used in Spain - ones which stood out for highlighting gender-related differences. The selected publishers are both held in high regards in Spain, namely Anaya and Santillana. It is not uncommon to come across women associated with the home environment and with household chores, whereas men are often depicted in work-related contexts and civil servant activities. This excrutiating gender-related discrimination is no longer present nowadays. However, common-places still linger in its contents and in the pictures used to illustrate them.
