The analysis method of the research is content analysis. While the analysis was carried out, frequency and categorical analysis techniques, which are among the content analysis techniques, were employed. The following results were obtained in the study: In the interfamilial relations category, division of labour and responsibilities in the family, sharing, democracy, solidarity, special days, communication, discipline and control were included. Women were rather associated with shopping and children. In addition to these, women's motherhood and emotionality, feeding the family, and artistic spirit of women were also included. 1990 and 2010 textbooks focused on the legal status of the family.
