description This article provides an analysis of the quantitative evolution of the women presence in Spanish universities, from the nineteenth-century pioneers to the beginning of the new millennium. Based on the assumption that the social context and the widespread mentality about the women’s status did not look with favor to this kind of decisions, the objective is to publicize the clear and progressive increase in university classrooms, students first and then professors. The methodology used has begun with a review of the available literature on this subject, it is not very abundant but the data and the information provided is accurate; Below has been sought in the primary sources that keep the university files and the State administration, in the historical series of the Statistical Yearbooks fromnational and international reach. The synthesis, contrast, and systematization of all the located data has allowed us to cover the predicted purpose and to offer  a diachronic picture of the women who chose the university project as training first and then professional. The reading of these pages allows checking some of the characteristics of a long-term temporary cadence, almost one hundred and fifty years, and the reached situation of the beginning of the twenty-first century where we did not achieve yet genuine and real equal opportunities in the academic environments.

En este artículo se ofrece un análisis de la evolución cuantitativa de la presencia de mujeres en las universidades españolas, desde las pioneras decimonónicas hasta el comienzo del nuevo milenio. Partiendo de la hipótesis de que el contexto social y la mentalidad generalizada acerca de la condición femenina no favorecían ese tipo de decisiones, el objetivo es dar a conocer el evidente y progresivo crecimiento en las aulas universitarias, primero de alumnas y más tarde de profesoras. La metodología utilizada ha partido de una revisión de la bibliografía disponible sobre esta temática, no muy abundante pero sí precisa en los datos e informaciones que ofrece, a continuación se ha buscado en las fuentes primarias que custodian los archivos universitarios y de la administración del Estado, en las series históricas de los Anuarios Estadísticos de alcance nacional e internacional. La síntesis, contraste y sistematización de todos los datos localizados nos ha permitido cubrir la finalidad prevista y ofrecer una imagen diacrónica de las mujeres que eligieron la universidad como proyecto primero de formación y luego profesional. La lectura de estas páginas permite comprobar algunas de las características de una cadencia temporal de largo plazo, casi ciento cincuenta años, y de la situación a la que se ha llegado a comienzos del siglo XXI, en que aún no se han logrado auténticas y reales oportunidades de igualdad en los ámbitos universitarios.  Sociedad de Historia de la Educación Latinoamericana y la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2015-01-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/historia_educacion_latinamerican/article/view/3303 10.19053/01227238.3303 Revista Historia de la Educación Latinoamericana; Vol. 17 No. 24 (2015): Ofelia Uribe de Acosta; 125-148 Revista Historia de la Educación Latinoamericana; Vol. 17 Núm. 24 (2015): Ofelia Uribe de Acosta; 125-148 2256-5248 0122-7238 spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/historia_educacion_latinamerican/article/view/3303/2986 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/historia_educacion_latinamerican/article/view/3303/5815 Copyright (c) 2015 Journal History of Latin American Education
