Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study non-formal education initiatives undertaken by the Women’s Section (SF) through women’s press during Francoism, specifically the Y, Medina, Teresa and Consigna magazines. The paper also analyses the reception of these training activities in rural areas through the periodical press kept in the SF’s archives corresponding to a large part of Spain, focusing on the initiatives held by the Corps of Female Public Health Disseminators in Rural Areas and Rural Instructors. Both were directly responsible for the promotion and training of rural women regarding housework, motherhood and farming activities. In particular, Rural Instructors worked at Travelling Professorships, School Farms and Rural Households, which is our scope of study.

Keys words: Women’s Section, peasant women, rural instructors, agricultural professional training, women’s magazines.
