Educational historical heritage in women: objective and sensitivities

Abstract

Patrimonio histórico educativo en femenino: objetos y sensibilidades, constitutes a key reference work for the History of Education from a gender perspective. The volume proposes an innovative reading of educational heritage through material culture, combining historiographical analysis, critical reflection, and literary evocation. The chapters that compose the book form an atlas of sensibility that reveals, through multiple voices, how everyday objects -such as sewing kits, school textbooks, or toys- functioned as educational devices transmitting social, moral and identity-related values. The work makes visible the living and learning conditions of girls and women, denouncing their exclusion from official narratives and reclaiming memory as a tool for historical justice. Its interdisciplinary and museological approach contributes to redefining the concept of educational heritage, positioning it also as an affective and symbolic space. The book thus becomes an exercise in restoring women’s educational experience and an invitation to reconsider the History of Education from new interpretative frameworks
