The contribution presents a historical analysis of a gradual introduction of female teachers to the schoolsystem in Slovene lands (the area with Slovene speaking population stretching from the port city Triestein the extreme northern part of the Adriatic Sea and its surroundings to the Julian Alps and the edge ofthe Pannonian Plain) on the south of the Habsburg Monarchy up to 1918 and than in the Slovene part ofYugoslavia Characterised by a reform of teacher education and emergence of women’s colleges ofeducation in the 1870s in the Austrian part of the Habsburg Monarchy, this process unfolded differentlyin different lands, however, even prior to WW1, almost half of teaching staff was represented bywomen in Slovene lands (south Carinthia, Carniola, south Styria, north part of Istria, surrounding of cityTriest and east part of County of Gorizia and Gradisca).The contribution addresses the question of how female teachers changed the teaching landscape inSlovene lands; they enabled the expansion of network of schools in urban and rural areas and thus anincrease in school attendance and literacy among Slovenes. Female teachers also had an impact on thechanges in the mode of teaching. The survey presents the role of female teachers in the own Society ofWomen Teachers est. 1898 and in other teacher societies, activities of the union and integration ofsocieties.How did female teachers assert themselves in pedagogical work in the Yugoslav part of Slovenia andelsewhere after 1918, and during WW1 and WW2? Had female teachers in periodicals initially onlyfocused on subject such as handicrafts, young girls’ education and women in schools? In the course oftime they also addressed broader pedagogical subjects and engaged in then-current pedagogicaldiscussions with their well-received studies and thinking.
