Commercial training for women in Nemzeti Nőnevelés

Abstract

The rarely examined educational institution of the first part of the 20th century is the women’s upper commercial school. During this period, it received countless criticism due to its curriculum. In spite of being a girls’ school, the typical ‘women’s subjects’ were not included in the timetable. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the views on this kind of school in the issues of the journal Nemzeti Nőnevelés (National Female Education) between the years of 1909 and 1919. We are interested in the person of the author in the different issues, his/her relationship towards the given type of school, and in what sort of opinion he/she had.
