Resumen
DIAZ ROBLES, Laura Catalina y HORTA ROJAS, Jaime. From contemplative life to the classroom. The active life of teaching nuns in Jalisco (1874-1920). Diálogos sobre educ. Temas actuales en investig. educ. [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.18, 00010. ISSN 2007-2171.
This article focuses on the nuns who founded religious congregations-school they entered as postulants, to become novices and then professed nuns, in the early twentieth century. In reconstructing their everyday life we aim to find out who they were, in what conditions they founded Roman Catholic schools, which were their main activities, which problems they faced, and how they conducted their apostolic work, in order to contribute some information on a group of women about whom little is known. This view of the actors seeks to fill the gaps left by a history focused on secular institutions, educational systems and teachers.
The sources consulted are mostly primary ones: official and personal letters between the Archbishop, Mothers Superior of different congregations, parish priests, nuns, parents of students and users of the services provided by the Church, among others. We also relied on documents from the Historical Archive of the Archbishopric of Guadalajara and other secondary sources.
