The content and photographs of twenty-five foreign language textbooks published after 1970 are examined for their sexist stereotypes and omissions. The texts, all but one published in America, are used by students enrolled in elementary and interrnediate foreign language courses from elementary school through college. Under examination, each is found to perpetuate the sex role stereotyping prevalent in American and foreign cultures. Whether by a female o( male author, revised or a first edition, or consid. ered non-sexist by the publisher, these texts, especially the college ones, overwhelmingly omit women or place them in mundane and eccentric roles. Pressure must be exerted so that textbooks more accurately reflect the position of womenin all societies.
