description The purpose of this article is to assess the working conditions of female teachers of the instructionist oficial education system in the department of Antioquia, at the beginning of the twentieth century. This relection is based on the information gathered from oficial documents, reports, and some opinion pieces, related to the national education system between 1903 and 1930, a context in which, although women were majorityin the educative labor, they had to face a hard struggle to gain participation in pedagogical discussions conceptually addressed by male teachers. By 1903, the 75% of the teacher profession in Antioquia was constituted by women. However,in the local scenarios where methodological, philosophical, and teaching issues related to the instructionist system were discussed, resistance to female participation appearedfrom different social sectors. This article shows how, despite the fact that women from Antioquia worked actively for the education of children in schools, this was considered irrelevant in allowing their participation in reformist debates.

This article shows how, despite the fact that women from Antioquia worked actively for the education of children in schools, this was considered irrelevant in allowing their participation in reformist debates. El propósito del artículo es dar una mirada a las condiciones en las cuales tuvieron que desempeñarse las maestras del sistema instruccionista oficial en el Departamento de Antioquia, al iniciar el siglo XX. Se hace una reflexión a partir de la información obtenida en documentos oficiales, informes y algunos textos de opinión, que tienen que ver con el sistema instruccionista nacional entre 1903 y 1930. Un contexto en el cual, aunque las mujeres eran mayoría en el oficio de educadoras, tuvieron una fuerte lucha para poder participar de las discusiones pedagógicas direccionadas conceptualmente por los maestros. Hacia 1903, las mujeres conformaban alrededor del 75% del gremio magisterial en Antioquia, sin embargo, en los escenarios locales en que se discutía sobre aspectos metodológicos, filosóficos y didácticos relacionados con el sistema instruccionista, se presentaban resistencias desde diversos sectores sociales a la participación femenina. Este artículo muestra cómo, a pesar de que las mujeres antioqueñas trabajaron activamente en la educación de la infancia en las escuelas, a la hora de ser tenidas en cuenta para participar en las discusiones reformistas, este hecho fue presentado como irrelevante o que no cumplía con las condiciones suficientes para hacerlo. L’article explore les conditions dans lesquelles ont travaillé les enseignantes de l’Éducation Nationale dans le Département d’Antioquia, au début du XXe siècle. On y propose une rélexion à partir de documents oficiels, des rapports et de quelquestextes d’opinion, relatifs à l’éducation nationale entre 1903 et 1930. Il s’agit d’une période dans laquelle les femmes, bien que majoritaires dans le métier, devaient se battre pour prendre part aux discussions pédagogiques, orientées conceptuellement par les hommes. Vers 1903, les femmes atteignaient presque le 75% des enseignants d’Antioquia, et cependant, dans les discussions locales à propos des questionsméthodologiques, philosophiques et didactiques, liées au système éducative, divers secteurs sociaux se sont opposés à la participation féminine. Cet article montre comment le rôle très actif des femmes d’Antioquia dans les écoles élémentaires,était méprisé lorsqu’il s’agissait de discuter des réformes.
