Tanítónők a magyar társadalomban a 20. század első felében : életpálya egy memoár lapjairól = Female teachers in the Hungarian society in the first half of the 20 th century : career path from the pages of a memoir

Abstract

The aim of my study is to present the changes in the first half of the 20th century inside the teaching profession, putting the elementary school teachers into focus. In the centre of the research there is the process during which the “feminization” of the teaching profession can be observed, which began in this period. I am trying to present these social changes in the first half of the 20th century, the process of women getting into jobs on the basis of primary sources – mainly the memoirs of the teacher Olga Koós and educational documents – concentrating, beside the national tendency, mainly on Baranya County.
