CALDO, Paula. They did not look like women but they were. Feminine education of teachers, Argentina 1920-1930. Hist. Soc. [online]. 2014, n.26, pp.237-265. ISSN 0121-8417.  https://doi.org/10.15446/hys.n26.44505.

This article describes the selection and triangulation process of a documentary corpus related to an inquiry which object is historicizing the treatment of feminine identity in normal educational training during the early days of the consumer society in Argentina (1920-1930). Based on social-cultural history´s approach, we focus on the study of those interventions by teacher training which were conducted in order to educate teaching female students as women dedicated to teaching rather than pupils. We begin by supposing that teaching training did not disregard the aspirant´s feminine condition but displayed a series of strategies that, during the study, sculptured the teacher´s feminine figure.
