Abstract: Abstract Studies concerning gender representation in textbooks have shaped a multidisciplinary and heterogeneous research domain. Thus, this study aimed to reveal the structure and development of this field. Bibliometrix and biblioshiny software tools were used to perform a bibliometric analysis of 436 documents on the theme of gender representation in textbooks obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection database and published from 1967 to 2020. The results show that the field of gender representation in textbooks has expanded over the past few decades. The United States, Spain, and the United Kingdom were the most prolific actors. The lion’s share of attention in the field appears to have been given to foreign-language textbooks. This field is characterized by a plurality of different research focuses, approaches, and perspectives. Moreover, the results indicate that the field has undergone a significant shift in research focus and methodologies. These findings can foster the development of scientific production by creating a broader panorama of published literature in this field.
