SCHEINKMAN, Ludmila. Empresarios, señoritas y obreras: Las escuelas de fábrica para obreras de la Liga Patriótica Argentina (1920-1928): ¿Una experiencia exitosa?. Mora (B. Aires) [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.2, pp.23-40. ISSN 1853-001X.

This paper intends to reconstruct the development of factory schools founded by the Argentine Patriotic League, located in major centers of female employment in the city of Buenos Aires in the i92os, as they are an interesting lens to explore gender issues in the workplaces. While there is considerable literature addressing the development of the League, most of it has focused on its repressive aspects, omitting the dimen-sions of gender and sexuality. However, one of the main activities undertaken by the organization for indoctrination and pacification of the working classes was the establishment of factory schools for women. This paper aims to reconstruct this educational experience, as a fundamental part of the League’s activity. And ponder the implications, causes and possible effects of this pedagogical and political “suc-cess", in order to rethink the difficulties of unionization and left-wing organizations’ insertion in large manufacturing concentrations of female employment in the i92os. In order to do this, we work with the schools’ Memories, the organization’s official publications and newspapers.

Keywords : Argentine Patriotic League; Right-Wing movements; female labor; education.
