EDUCATORS AND FEMINISTS BETWEEN SPAIN AND AMERICA. NEW PEDAGOGICAL HORIZONS
The arrival to Spain of feminist women and educators from Boston and the International Institute for Girls in Spain opened a new path for the education of Spanish women.
Meanwhile, a generation of women with solid academic and pedagogical training gathered in Madrid around the pedagogy of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza and the Institute-School.
The meeting between the two represented mutual enrichment, an exchange of experiences and educational methods. These women shared buildings, classes, projects and great wisdom in a Spain that was moving rapidly towards modernity and the incorporation of women into academic activity.
After the war in Spain and the closure of the institutions they directed, the tenacity of some in their internal exile allowed them to safeguard their ideals until democracy. The teaching of exiled educators in America managed to extend their educational ideals to new societies.
This cycle aims to analyze this exchange of ideas as well as make its protagonists known.
