description Objective: Analyze the purposes and educational programs of the conservative model for female education, in antithesis with the economic, political, and social projection of the Nicaraguan Liberal Revolution (1893-1909). Originality/contribution: this work contributes to the historiographic study of women from an academic perspective, in contrast to the economic, political, and social projection of the Liberal Revolution. Method: This is a qualitative research. The study programs and cultural spaces of this new process of conservative education in an era that proclaims freedom were examined through bibliographic and hemerographic review. Strategies/Data collection: Documentary information from the Biblioteca del Banco Central de Nicaragua, the Instituto de Historia de Nicaragua y Centroamérica (IHNCA-UCA), and  the  Biblioteca Nacional de Nicaragua were compiled and organized. Conclusions: 1) The purpose of female education during the Liberal Revolution was to prepare women for married life and the raising of their children; however, women took advantage of the opportunities assigned by the State as educators at the kindergarten, primary, and secondary levels to transmit their ideas in favor of women. Years later, they or their students would lead the birth of the women's fight in Nicaragua. 2) The modern curriculum for female education was a farce. The curricula of the Colegio de Señoritas de Granada, adapted by the North American teachers, were eliminated to establish the training of women for domestic life. 3) It should be emphasized that during the sixteen years of the Liberal Revolution, the bourgeoisie introduced Europeanized life models into the country. These differences settled in society and were expressed in women's education. The model of women's education was meant to be functional for the family and that of men was for society and decision-making in politics, economy, and family. Liberalism was transformative, but it limited women to the minimum expression, becoming the most faithful antithesis of a revolution.

Método: Se trata de una investigación cualitativa pues mediante la revisión bibliográfica y hemerográfica se examinan los programas de estudio y los espacios culturales en que se desarrolla este nuevo proceso de educación conservadora en una época que proclama la libertad. Estrategias/recolección de información: Se compiló y organizó la información documental de la Biblioteca del Banco Central de Nicaragua, del Instituto de Historia Nicaragua y Centroamérica (IHNCA-UCA) y de la Biblioteca Nacional de Nicaragua. Conclusiones: 1- Los propósitos de la educación femenina, durante la Revolución Liberal, eran prepararla para la vida conyugal y la crianza de sus hijos; sin embargo, pudieron asirse de las oportunidades que le asignó el Estado como educadora en los niveles de Kindergarten, primaria, secundaria para transmitir sus ideas en pro de la mujer. Años después, ellas o sus alumnas, encabezarían el nacimiento de la lucha femenina en Nicaragua. 2- Por otro lado, los Programas Educativos empleados para educar a la mujer fueron un remedo de modernidad, pues eliminaron los Planes de Estudios del Colegio de Señoritas de Granada que habían adaptado las profesoras norteamericanas, y establecieron sus Planes con el propósito de formar a las mujeres a la vida doméstica.  3- Es meritorio recalcar que durante los 16 años de Revolución Liberal los burgueses introdujeron en el país modelos de vida europeizante. Estas diferencias se atenuaron en la sociedad y se vieron expresas en la educación femenina. El modelo de educación de la mujer debía ser funcional para la familia y el del hombre debía ser para la sociedad y la toma de decisiones en la política, la economía, la sociedad, y la misma familia. El liberalismo fue transformador, pero limito a la mujer a la mínima expresión. Configurándose en la antítesis más fiel de una Revolución. Objetivo: Analisar os propósitos e os programas educacionais do modelo conservador de educação da mulher, em oposição à projeção econômica, política e social da Revolução Liberal Nicaraguense (1893-1909). Originalidade/contribuição: Contribui para o estudo historiográfico da mulher a partir do Programa de Estudos, em oposição à projeção econômica, política e social da Revolução Liberal. Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, pois examina os programas de estudo e os espaços culturais onde se desenvolve esse novo processo de educação conservadora, em uma época que proclama a liberdade, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica e de jornais. Estratégias/coleta de datos: As informações documentais foram compiladas e organizadas na Biblioteca do Banco Central da Nicarágua, no Instituto de História da Nicarágua e Centroamérica (IHNCA-UCA) e na Biblioteca Nacional da Nicarágua. Conclusões: 1) O objetivo da educação feminina durante a Revolução Liberal era preparar as mulheres para a vida de casadas e para a criação dos filhos; no entanto, as mulheres puderam aproveitar as oportunidades oferecidas pelo Estado como educadoras no jardim de infância, no ensino fundamental e no ensino médio para transmitir suas ideias a favor das mulheres. Anos mais tarde, elas ou seus alunos liderariam o nascimento da luta das mulheres na Nicarágua. 2) Os programas educacionais usados para educar as mulheres eram uma zombaria da modernidade, pois eliminaram os currículos do Colegio de Señoritas de Granada, que haviam sido adaptados pelos professores norte-americanos, e estabeleceram seus planos com o objetivo de treinar as mulheres para a vida doméstica. 3) Deve-se observar que, durante os dezesseis anos da Revolução Liberal, a burguesia introduziu modelos de vida europeizados no país. Essas diferenças foram atenuadas na sociedade e expressas na educação das mulheres. O modelo de educação das mulheres deveria ser funcional para a família e o dos homens deveria ser funcional para a sociedade e para a tomada de decisões na política, na economia, na sociedade e na própria família. O liberalismo foi transformador, mas limitou as mulheres à expressão mínima, tornando-se a antítese mais fiel de uma revolução.
