Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to call attention to the results of a research which analysed the presence of women in the didactic materials used in Spanish Compulsory Secondary Education. 109 text books from three different publishers were checked and the results were very disappointed: just 7,6 % of the names quoted were women (López-Navajas, 2014). In addition to this, in this paper two relevant female Mexican playwrights are used to exemplify the didactic proposals that are been developed within the framework of the project “Women in ESO” (Compulsory Secondary Education). Moreover, these proposals could become a suitable vehicle to publicise a greater number of voices and texts of Latin American origin, in general, and Mexican, in particular, among Spanish society.Downloads
