The findings reveal that the textbook represent gender stereotype in many Gender Analysis Pathway (GAP) area such as; gender GAP in culture area especially a stereotype of emotionally expressive woman and the stereotype of woman must be married at certain age, gender GAP in politic area, economic, health area and gender GAP in education area.
