    Despite the growing presence of women holding important professional and institutional positions, the linguistic system continues to waver between masculine and feminine, between prescriptive language norms and language usage: while some feminine forms are becoming widely used among speakers, others are not as common in use. The present work addresses the issue of gender inequality transmitted through linguistic practices and its contribution to gender discrimination. The objectives of this paper are: firstly, to provide an overview on the debate on the feminization of profession and office nouns in Italian and Spanish, both gender-marked languages; secondly, to analyze the subject in its grammatical structures for both languages; and lastly, to propose some reflections on the importance and the need to address the issue in Italian and Spanish as foreign language classes.
