The Image of Women’s Upper Commercial Schools in Hungarian Pedagogy in the First Half of the 20th Century

Abstract

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine what image the journal Hungarian Pedagogy conveyed about women's upper commercial schools in Hungary. The articles were reviewed for the period between 1909 and 1938. In connection with the writings, we are looking for answers to the following questions: Does the journal address women’s upper commercial schools? What is the gender distribution of the authors? What views does the author convey about the school? How do the publications fit into the portrayal of women of the era? In total, we found four relevant articles by two authors. Both represent a conservative point of view and speak rather negatively about the type of school.
