This study aims at discussing women images in grade eight

textbooks in the Palestinian schools. The researchers used three main

tools to collect the required data; content analysis tool was developed for

the purpose of analyzing the targeted textbooks (Arabic, Science, Math,

and social studies) from gender point of view. The pictures, language,

roles and responsibilities of male and female in the textbooks were

noticed and analyzed. 15 Semi structured interviews were conducted with

teachers in a different schools and classes were observed. The study

found that the participation of female authors in textbooks authors is less

than the participation of males. The stereotyped image of women is still

reflected in the textbooks with slight improvement in the Arabic

textbooks. The study recommended that more training workshops for

teachers in gender awareness should be conducted
