“…Hellinger (1980) conducted a study of English language textbooks in Germany and found that “English language textbooks used in German schools (ELTG) convey the image of a patriarchal society, which not only contributes nothing towards the realization of equal rights for women and men studies on English language books used in schools in Germany” (p. 267). Koster (2020) systematically analyzed gender representation in texts and illustrations in 15 Dutch as Second Language school textbooks of the last 50 years. The results revealed that females are not underrepresented in dialogs and pictures but are backgrounded through male primacy.…”

This study aimed to explore gender equality in language textbooks in Georgian schools. The content analysis method was used to answer the research questions, and a theoretical framework was developed based on Porreca's Analytical Framework (1984). The research revealed that men remain more visible in textbooks. Social roles, activities, and professions are gender-biased, and the books contribute to the development of gender stereotypes. The study identified five different approaches that school textbook authors adopt toward gender equality: (1) superficial, (2) artificial, (3) additive, (4) deliberate ignorance, and (5) attitudinal nondeliberate gender mainstreaming approach.

“…Mengkritik pemerintah dan menulis kejadian dalam penjara menyebabkan mereka terbunuh. Selain itu, terjadi transformasi kolonialisme ke budaya neokolonialisme yang berbeda dengan temuan penelitian Livingston & Davis (2020); Koster (2020); dan Lough (2020). Temuan tersebut memberikan gambaran adanya keterkaitan antara teori feminisme dengan teori dalam kajian poskolonialisme.…”

Something is interesting in the research findings, namely the phenomenon of "intellectual genocide" through the application of the "spatial organization" method by the New Order government to kill groups of women who are considered to have "left ideology" in Indonesia. In addition, there was a colonial transformation into a neocolonial culture, in which Indonesian women were socially and politically colonized by the United States and the New Order rulers. Problems of gender inequality were found, namely the problem of violence against women, marginalization, stereotypes, subordination, and double workload.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan citra perempuan tahanan politik Indonesia dalam novel Dari Dalam Kubur.

“…A variety of gender discrepancies in occupational choices may be attributable to preconceived attitudes about specific vocations that both boys and girls internalize from a young age (Ginevra & Nota, 2017). The occupational realm is necessary to investigate because paid labor affects an individual's social standing, financial independence, and potency in social life (Koster, 2020). Since, stereotyped occupational beliefs can have a significant impact on career development by creating distorted ideas about education, training, and the workplace, influencing perceptions of the field of viable options and discouraging people from pursuing training or career paths that are considered inappropriate for their gender (Eccles, 2011).…”

This discourse study seeks to examine occupational gender stereotypes in two textbooks of secondary English language textbooks published in Indonesia. Occupational gender stereotypes in two English textbooks, entitled When English Rings a Bell, for grade 7 and 8 were analyzed with the help of Kress and van Leeuwen (2006) framework. The findings indicate that both textbooks encompass content on gender stereotypes, particularly occupation. The findings also revealed that there were far less photos of women in the public domain than there were of men, indicating that women in conventional gender roles such as cooking, cleaning, watering plants, caring for children, and performing all domestic activities were far more common. Furthermore, the study found that male occupations were more common and diverse than female occupations in terms of occupational gender stereotypes. Furthermore, in terms of societal responsibilities, males were demonstrated to have a wider choice of vocations than girls. Gender blindness among curriculum designers and textbook authors is a serious worry in this regard, and it must be addressed in order to improve awareness of gender-related occupations. The study's practical implications are that English teachers, language textbook authors, curriculum creators and illustrators should be fully aware of the interplay between language, visual depictions, and gender concerns while constructing language textbooks to avoid unwanted insights into occupational gender stereotypes.
