The Role of Women in Education According to the Thoughts of Georgian Public Figures (late 19th Century - Early 20th Century)

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: From the 1860s, a new era began in Georgian history, closely tied to the efforts of prominent Georgian writers and public figures of the time (Ilia Chavchavadze and Akaki Tsereteli, etc.) These individuals recognized that education—particularly for women—was detached from the needs and aspirations of the Georgian people. It became evident that fostering a new type of Georgian citizen required the decisive involvement of women, especially as mothers, in shaping future generations. Consequently, the question of women's education was brought to the forefront of national discourse. This article provides a concise overview of these transformative processes, offering valuable insights not only into the broader history of education but also into the pivotal role of women's education in Georgian society.
