Teruel Female Normal School, a center for equal (1857-1901)

Abstract

The present study is part of a more extensive one dedicated to the teacher training in Teruel. The article analyses the history of female teacher training, because during the 19th Century the training of male and female teachers was different. The Teacher Training College for women was an important centre for the education of girls, particularly for those belonging to rural areas because it allowed them to have a greater cultural and professional formation. Nevertheless the Teacher Training College of women was influenced by important political swings.
