description In recent years, feminist linguistic research in Italy has focused on the use of feminine forms of names designating professions and titles. Historically, professional terminology was exclusively masculine, a fact that reflected women's limited access to the job market. However, the increased presence of women in the labour market has highlighted the inadequacy and sexist nature of this language, underscoring the need for an appropriate definition of women's roles. The aim of this study is to look at the presence of feminine agentives in L2/LS Italian textbooks published from the 1970s to the present to ascertain whether there has been any development that linguistically reflects the increased presence and relevance of women in the workforce. The results indicate a continued underrepresentation of women and a tendency for female characters to be associated with humble and less specialized occupations. In textbooks published since the 2010s, women seem to occupy more relevant job roles, but the tendency is to do so by resorting to the unmarked masculine.
