Education and social transformation: the educational project for women in the anarchist ideology

The working movement has taken several educational actions through history in order to improve its status condition. Socialists as well as anarchists became the main educational entity and they created their proper educational and cultural tools for their militants. The alternative programme of the anarchists for the popular sectors was visible in classes by night or on Sundays as well in conferences, talks, courses and lectures. Apart from taking into account instruction they also divulged their emancipating ideology. In this article we try to study women education concerning the social transformation in this anarchist ideology. The main objective is to analyze the alternative of training which the anarchists defended for Spanish women in the second half of the 19 century and in the beginning of the 20 century. So we have proved that women were integrated in anarchist groups and in their discourse education was a constant in their fight. Since the 19 century on they wanted equality and on their path they taken different kinds of action towards this goal. Their emancipation affected both the public and the private sectors, in an anti authoritarian and anti hierarchic society. Nevertheless, despite the advanced planning this emancipation did not get rid of stereotypes and it did not break off with the traditional model and the discriminatory tendencies of the time.
