Education in Nuestra Tribuna, an anarchist women’s periodical in Argentina (1922-1925)

Abstract

Widely used in historical writing, the periodical press has become a privileged source for understanding the past. Nuestra Tribuna, an Argentine anarchist women's newspaper that circulated between 1922 and 1925, features articles on education written by women, defending its importance in relation to "the rational formation and mental elevation of women and men in society." But, what do the educational articles in Nuestra Tribuna say? How are they presented within the context of the newspaper? What is their relationship to Argentine social dynamics? The aim is to understand, from the perspective of cultural history, specifically the history of the press, how education is addressed in Nuestra Tribuna. The results of this work demonstrate that education is presented as an indispensable tool for achieving the emancipation not only of women, but of all of society. The discussions reveal a variety of discourses on libertarian education that promotes justice, equality, and autonomy for all people.
