MONTEIRO, Ivanilde Alves and GATI, Hajnalka Halász. A educação da mulher em Pernambuco no século XIX: recortes sobre a Escola Normal da Sociedade Propagadora. Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.01, pp.99-126. ISSN 2238-0094.
From research on the process of inclusion of women in the teaching profession during the the late nineteenth century, this article discusses the importance of the establishment in 1872 of the Normal School for Ladies of the Society for Public Instruction, which emerged within civil society, with no supervision from the state and which aimed to insert women into the world of work through an activity for which they were believed to be naturally ‘designed’. The study is of a bibliographical and documental nature from statutes, rules, regulations and memoirs of the Propagator Society, reports from education inspectors and periodicals of the time. It is important to highlight the belief in the power of instruction and education to implement a desirable modern society, based on urbanization and industrialization.
