Abstract

From the area of Social Sciences teaching, a special sensitivity has been shown for education from a gender perspective, being one of the educational areas in which this issue has been most developed, and one of the most recently developed lines of research. In addition to this sensitivity, in recent years the role that the issue of Sustainable Development Goals is gaining, among which is, as objective 5, gender equality. In this work, three didactic experiences of two subjects of Humanities and Social Sciences (Geography and History, Education for Citizenship and History of Philosophy) have been analyzed, whose main objective is to develop the curriculum of the subjects with the gender perspective. It is because, for students, both in the past and in the present, men seem to have a greater role as historical and social figures than women. The method with which we have worked is the comparative analysis of historical figures, to highlight this inequality, and to promote research on relevant female figures in each subject. The results are satisfactory because the students have discovered the leading role of female characters in different historical periods.
