This article denotes a socially relevant problem that is related to the absence of women and their history in the official curricular constructions of Chile and Peru. The method followed is related to the postulates of Critical Literacy, adapting leading questions for the construction of categories of analysis and documentary research. Among the main conclusions, it can be stated that both curricula, from comparative perspectives, do not propose or offer sufficient spaces for the inclusion of women and their history. In addition, the curriculum construction is framed in traditional perspectives that reveal the protagonism of white men with political, economic and / or military power, where women, when they are referred, are carried out from subordinate positions and linked to the domestic and private. We can argue that although women are visible in some areas of the curriculum, such presence is minimal and is conditioned by the dominant traditional structures.
