This graph shows the gender inequality of the didactic resources that make up some of the textbooks corresponding to the last year of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO). In this sense, we compare the contents of the SM publishing house for the 4th year of ESO, where, after a decade, we can see that the percentage of female characters has increased from 5.1 % in 2007 to 12 % ten years later. In the Anaya publishing house’s edition, for the same year in 2017, the percentage of women exceeds 17%. Although this does not represent a significant advance, it does mean that the number of male characters has decreased from around 95 % to less than 88 % in 2017. Despite a slight change in the arrangement and balance of the material chosen, the fact is that the figure and prominence of men in the story continue to be prioritised, making the role of women largely invisible.
