Special adult women schools

Abstract

Article originally published in 1924 in the journal Revista de Pedagogía, then directed by Lorenzo Luzuriaga. The author reflects on the teaching of adults, specifically women. Knowing how a serious issue illiteracy was at the time in Spain, Leonor Serrano emphasizes the idea of offering an organized and distributed teaching throughout the Spanish geography, with an emphasis on rural areas. It addresses this question from a feminist perspective, arguing for the full integration of women in the educational system not only from their early years, but serving all women in need of literacy. Teresa Rabazas Romero and Carlos Sanz Simón, the Museum of History of Education “Manuel Bartolomé Cossío” at the Complutense University of Madrid, prepared this reedition with an additional critical commentary.
