In Third Republic France (1870-1940), the directrice of a normal school (cole normale) for training women teachers was the most important woman representative of public primary education in each department. This study of 313 normal school directrices between 1879 and 1940, an important group of professional women not previously studied, explores the challenges they encountered and their responses.
