This paper aims to analyse the relationship between gender and schooling experience in the Argentine Federal Capital in the 1930s. Starting from the biography of a "girl" who attended school between 1932-1937, her particular experience and what is taken from her textbooks and class notebooks will be related to the representations on the roles or places assigned to the "girls," as future women, in the reading books authorized by the National Council of Education to be used in the schools. In this sense, elementary school textbooks have become a valuable source, as they are fundamental support in disseminating moral, aesthetic and patriotic values of the time. In a plot that articulates macro and micropolitical elements, the richness that the biographical experience gives through particular stories of the 'body to body' (Agamben, 2014, p. 19) provides tools of excellent heuristic value for the study of that relationship.

Palabras clave : Gender representation; Biography; Textbooks; Elementary school.
