Ludwika i Aleksandra Birkenmajerów Polskiej Akademii Nauk}, language={pol}, abstract={The founding of the first women’s gymnasium, ie secondary school, in the Polish lands was of critical significance for the development of women’s secondary and higher education. It resulted from grassroots efforts which were an expression of newfound societal needs related to women’s education. Allowing women to enter universities created the need for a gymnasium to enable young women to take the final secondary school exams, required for university admission. The first women’s gymnasium was shaped by the times it operated in, which were characterised by political instability as well as social and ideological changes.}, type={Text}, title={The history of the first women’s gymnasium in Kraków (1896–1948)}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl./Content/243375/Zarys_dziej%C3%B3w_pierwszego_gimnazjum_.pdf}, keywords={gymnasium, final secondary school exam, women’s education, Galicia, Kraków (Poland)}, }
