The subject of this article
is professional and household management courses for woman,
offered by three institutions between 1880 and 1914, that were
researched within the frame of a project concerning the history
of adult education in Geneva. Those institutions are: l'Association
des Commis de Genève (courses in the fields of commerce
and language); l'Académie professionnelle de la Ville
de Genève (courses in the fields of household management
and textiles); l'Union des Femmes de Genève (courses
in the fields of commerce and languages as well as the fields
of household management and textiles). Initially, the three
institutions are briefly introduced: curriculum, students, teaching
staff, organization and financing. Then, a few general tendencies
are disclosed and analyzed in light of the educational, political
and socio-economical conditions of the period, as well as with
the professional and social status of women. |
