Abstract

COELHO, Sónia  and  FONTES, Susana. Antónia Gertrudes Pusich in defence of female education in the nineteenth century. Faces de Eva. Estudos sobre a Mulher [online]. 2019, n.41, pp.107-119. ISSN 0874-6885.

Antónia Gertrudes Pusich (1805-1883) was a very literate woman, having published several texts on different domains and issues. She collaborated with several newspapers and founded three newspapers of which she was the owner and director,being a pioneer in these roles. In these newspapers she wrote on a variety of topics, expressing her thoughts without prejudice and enabling other women to express their voices. In this article, we intend to highlight Pusich’s pioneering character, analysing her ideas expressed in the texts published in A Assembléa Litteraria about the state of Portuguese education in general and, in particular, about the state of female education.

Keywords : Antónia Gertrudes Pusich; Female education; A Assembléa Litteraria (1849-1851).
