Abstract
This study aims to explore the content of gender-bias towards women in history textbooks for XI grade students which published by the Ministry of Education and Culture. This study uses critical discourse analysis method which uses three stages, that are description, interpretation, and explanation. The object of this research is the history textbooks for XI grade students in Curriculum 2013 (revised edition 2017) published by the government. The results showed that the history textbooks in the first and second semesters still contained narratives with gender-bias towards women. The narrative text can be classified into three forms, that are omission, trivialization, and condemnation. The emergence of text narratives containing gender-biased content in textbooks is caused by several factors, among others (1) history textbooks are still trapped in the construction of masculine national historiography, and (2) patriarchal culture which is rooted in Indonesian society that tends to normalization discrimination against women.
