| Summary: | In Granada, the so-called "educational revolution" of the sixteenth century resulted in an increase in the number of schools and colleges and the development of a schooling program aimed specifically at women, the implementation of which enabled the establishment of numerous institutions by nontraditional groups. The groups included great families, guilds, council authorities, ecclesiastical hierarchies, and even women of the nobility and the Church. The schools operated by women functioned as Christianizing agents and shaped the behaviors and expectations assigned to women in a patriarchal society. In this article we propose that these institutions were chiefly responsible for the education of women in Granada throughout the Modern Age. |
