Female teachers in 19th Century Croatia: history ald literature

Žene u 19. stoljeću počinju se buditi i ostvarivati svoja prava. Od domaćica i majki, postaju puno više, postaju članovi društva i izvan svoja četiri zida. Obrazovanje postaje važno oruđe kojim se može unaprijediti društvo, osnažiti narod i obogatiti državu. Upravo iz tih razloga postalo je zdravorazumskom činjenicom omogućiti obrazovanje i ženama. Iako su se u počecima žene obrazovale u uskim okvirima usmjerene na kućanstvo, ručni rad i odgoj djece, kasnije su im postala dostupna i šira znanja. Veliki doprinos obrazovanju žena i njihovoj borbi u stjecanju ravnopravnosti i prava na obrazovanje imale su učiteljice. I one same morale su se izboriti za pravo na obrazovanje, za izjednačavanje njihovih položaja u školstvu s onima koje imaju muški kolege, morale su se boriti protiv potplaćenosti i protiv predrasuda i neprihvaćenosti u društvu.Women in the 19th century were beginning to wake up and realize their rights. From housewives and mothers they were becoming a lot more - they became full members of society. Education became an important tool that could improve society, empower people and enrich the country. For these reasons it became common sense to provide education for women. Although in the beginning the education for women was limited to household, needlework and raising children, later on general knowledge became available to them as well. Female teachers had a great contribution in the fight for women education and their struggle to gain equality in society. They too had to fight for their rights, to equalize their positions in the school system with those of male colleagues. They also had to struggle with underpayment, fight against prejudice and to be accepted in society
