Women and the Politics of Education in Third Republic France
ISBN: 9780197632864 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Third Republic France (1870-1940), the directrice of a normal school (école normale) for training women teachers was the most important woman representative of public primary education in each department. Her role was central to the republican educational project designed to bolster the establishment of a stable democracy after the Franco-Prussian War. The laicization of public education figured prominently in republican efforts to combat the old alliance of "throne and altar" favoring monarchy and religious instruction in public schools. Although laymen taught most boys in public schools...

English supplicants to the papal curia require...
