This study used a qualitative research with content analysis design. Porecca’ (1984) framework was adopted for analyzing the female and male representation in the English textbook: omission (the ratio of females to males) in texts and illustrations, firstness, occupational visibility, noun, masculine generic construction, and adjective. The result of gender omission is not too high with the average ratio of females to male 1:1.03. For social dominance was not found in the textbook.
