This paper reports the production of a group book about gender perspectives. Nowadays, the image of women in mass media tends to be manipulated and this contributes to the dissemination of a misleading and false image of women’s identity. Future teachers should be especially conscious of this situation so that they do not become passive consumers of publicity. This project aims to offer students mechanisms for criticism and reflection to counteract a situation which in the 21st century should be simply unacceptable. Our goal is that our students reflect critically about the role of women in society by means of a collaborative action which this article explains in detail. The capacity of Art to provide images that elicit emotions allows us to reach our aims.
