Women Teachers in Civil Croatia in the Second Half of the 19th Century
Melani Škrobar
Sažetak
Although the nineteenth century dictated that women’s place is in the household in the role of wife and mother, there were young girls who wanted to go beyond these frameworks and become teachers. The first institution for their education was the monastic Women Teacher’s Training School of the Sisters of Charity in Zagreb, and then later the Public Teacher Training School was opened. Although they had the same criteria for enrollment as men, they were discriminated against in several ways. From the very beginning, they were considered the weaker sex, so they could not teach older boys, learn about economics and natural sciences, etc. They were also discriminated against in terms of salary, which was at least a third lower than that of their male colleagues. Also, in the year of 1888, the new law imposed celibacy on them, so they had to choose between a career and a family. Among all of them, Marija Jambrišak, Marija Fabković, Jagoda Truhelka and Milka Pogačić stood out as teachers who were excellent in their profession, active outside the classroom in magazines such as Napredak, children fiction novels, etc. At the end of the century there were made major changes and progress. The Temporary Women’s Lyceum was opened, and soon after that women could enrol at the Royal University of Francis Joseph I.
