En la frontera: señas de identidad de la labor pedagógica hispano-americanista en María de Maeztu (1924-1936)

Abstract

Spanish women are due to pedagogical efforts that consumed a huge part of María de Maeztu’s life. In opposition to the profuse studies about her Spanish work, there is a general unconsciousness about her leading role in the Christian-feminine educational strategy that, during the first third of the 20th century, pursued the cultural flowering of Hispano-American women. By analyzing her essays and conferences about the subject, and by examining her correspondence with other remarkable participants, we recover the «inside nature» of a movement closely linked to its members fundamental beliefs.
