This paper discusses the evolution of the Spanish Civil Rewards Law, taking into account a possible gender bias in its implementation. For this purpose —and after a study of law and gender, which reflects the scope of the constitutional principle of equality and the jurisprudential and doctrinal impact of so-called positive actions—, we review the statutes of the principal orders, medals and civil awards, both those bestowed by the central government and by the regional authorities (autonomous communities), establishing the percentage of bestowal to women. The results obtained show that there is a structural bias against women on all levels. The paper concludes with the proposal of different ways to close this gap. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
