description This article is the result of a research on Mexican publications aimed at women during the Porfiriato, which played an important educational function. The main objective of the research is to analyze, to understand, to compare and to interpret the main proposals showed in the publications regarding the women education, from editorial articles or highlighted columns. The research provides an overview that shows the most important positions in the debate raised in feminine education magazines. The method used was the review and analysis of the hemerography period in order to study different publications, based on the most representative there was a selection of ten. Subsequently it was applied a hermeneutical framework to analize, understand and then interpret the historical process, the educational discourse and the ideological content of the data media above. The research concludes that the educational content of the publications correspond to the concept of ‘informal education’; as well as there were two antagonistic points of view about women education, a conservative one recommending to educate them, and the liberal or modern one, which proposed to instruct them. In this sense, the main hypothesis is that both positions tried to determine, through education, the profile that the Mexican women should have at that time.

El artículo es producto de una investigación sobre las publicaciones mexicanas dirigidas al público femenino durante el Porfiriato, las cuales desempeñaron una importante función educativa. El principal objetivo de la investigación es analizar, comprender, comparar e interpretar las principales propuestas que aparecían en éstas respecto a la educación de la mujer, a partir de los artículos editoriales o las columnas destacadas en cada uno de los medios. La investigación ofrece un panorama que permite conocer las posturas más relevantes en el debate planteado en las revistas sobre la educación femenina. El método utilizado consistió en la revisión y análisis de la hemerografía de época, para lo cual fueron estudiadas diversas publicaciones, de las cuales se seleccionaron diez como las más representativas. Posteriormente se utilizó un marco teórico hermenéutico, el cual permitió analizar, comprender y posteriormente interpretar el proceso histórico, el discurso educativo y el contenido ideológico de los medios referidos. La investigación concluye que los contenidos educativos de las publicaciones corresponden al concepto de “educación informal”, asimismo, que existieron principalmente dos posturas antagónicas en torno a la educación de las mujeres: una conservadora, que recomendaba educarlas, y otra liberal o modernizadora, que proponía instruirlas. En este sentido, la principal hipótesis de la que se parte propone que ambas posturas trataban de determinar, por medio de la educación, el perfil que debía tener la mujer mexicana durante esa época.  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/3307 10.19053/01227238.3307 Revista Historia de la Educación Latinoamericana; Vol. 17 No. 24 (2015): Ofelia Uribe de Acosta; 217-242 Revista Historia de la Educación Latinoamericana; Vol. 17 Núm. 24 (2015): Ofelia Uribe de Acosta; 217-242 2256-5248 0122-7238 spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/historia_educacion_latinamerican/article/view/3307/2990 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/historia_educacion_latinamerican/article/view/3307/5819 Copyright (c) 2015 Journal History of Latin American Education
