Perhaps, unlike my wife, you failed to know that yesterday was International Women's Day. Interestingly, reported in the news, including the UK's Guardian Newspaper, was the UNESCO report of rampant bias in student textbooks that portray women in dated stereotypical domestic roles.
The authors are recruiting all (including you and I) to assist their research by using your cellphone or camera to show good or bad examples in textbooks (or lesson material) in which women are portrayed in various roles. The photos are shared via Instagram.

Invitation from the study:
We want you to help us with our investigation. Join us on Instagram where we have just launched (@GEMReport). Send us photos of your textbooks marked #betweenthelines that you feel are positive examples of the way education is promoting gender equality, and sustainable development more widely, and of those you feel are perpetuating traditional norms and biases.
