ROBLES FERNÁNDEZ, GORETTY
Memoria de máster ( UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE EDUCACIÓN A DISTANCIA, 2005)
La mujer en los manuales de E/LE: del estereotipo al personaje real e  
histórico
There is a much shorter version in English (available on demand)  
coming out in the IGALA-4 proceedings.

In redele there are other works along the line, i. e.
BARCELÓ MORTE ,   LOLA
Memoria de máster (UNIVERSIDAD DE BARCELONA, 2006)
Los estereotipos de género en los manuales de ELE. Estudio de las  
representaciones de varones y mujeres en cuatro libros de texto  
publicados en España entre 2003-2004

The cons all of them are in Spanish but with plenty of references in
