MARIN-IBARRA, MARIANA. Mothers, sinners and obedient: The religious formation of the Poblanas in the first half of 19th century in Mexico. Hist. Caribe [online]. 2021, vol.16, n.38, pp.269-298.  Epub May 19, 2022. ISSN 0122-8803.  https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.38.2021.2821.

The creation of the Mexican nineteenth century female school cultures was carried out through pastoral and governance precepts. The internal and interventionist wars favored state and clerical discourses that chose to offer a decisive role to Puebla women. Formal and informal education was involved in a double requirement for women: aiming at building on the Virgin Conceptionist stereotype -the New Eve- who could be a sinner, but simultaneously susceptible to redeem herself through motherhood and be educated in formal school in order to be faithful and obedient servants.

Keywords : women education; religion; Puebla city; 19th century.
