Summary/Abstract: Databases of classical Spanish theater are valuable resources for specialized investigation, but they can also be used to research pedagogical practices. This article approaches the study of the research tool Teatro Español del Siglo de Oro with a didactic intent, exploring the theme of sexist stereotypes in Elementary Education. Given the importance of the quality and adaptability of the first contacts with literature in the classroom, it is essential that professional educators exercise critical thought, selecting material with aesthetic merit which is, at the same time, appropriate for the earliest stages of education.
