Abstract

This article is part of a research focused on the relationship between women and university in the decade of 1930 in Colombia, whose development is carried out in the Master of Education at Universidad Pedagógica Nacional. Its main contribution lies on showing Colombian women’s struggles, vicissitudes, and tensions in a different place that their homes. It was the Congreso Internacional Femenino that permitted them not only to reveal their condition as housewives, but their claims on popular vote, university education, and economical independence. Such requests were made amid mockery, scandals, and social rejection. Regardless of the criticism, those women exposed their ideas properly, using a remarkable eloquence that founded their independent participation in public places. This set a constitutive emergence of the female subject, conceived beyond the household chores, applying thereby for work and university careers.
