A pegada das galegas na Residencia de Señoritas de Madrid: facendo camiño ao andar

Abstract

The Residencia de Señoritas (Residence for Women Students) opened the doors in 
Madrid in 1915. It was promoted by the Board for Advanced Studies and Scientific 
Research as a home for the women studying in Madrid. From the very beginning in the 
Residencia there was a group of Galician Women, who often developed outstanding 
careers, especially in Pedagogy and in other fields, like Medicine or Sciences. Thirty 
three Galician Women lived in the Residencia along twenty years. This work recovers 
their names. It follows the line of another works of the authoress, and the aim is to save 
from oblivion the names and the track of same pioneer women. The work is a 
vindication of the memory of women and a response against a shallow way of making 
Gender History.
