| Summary: | The debate on co-education, inevitably linked with the education of girls and women’s rights, was wide-ranging during the Spanish Second Republic (1931-1936). Attitudes towards girls’ education will be examined by looking at three examples of opinion: Mirguet, Sarabia and Mihura. These examples illustrate opposing points of view on co-education, based on religious, moral or reactionary grounds, since girls’ education remained a world apart. In spite of proposals to establish a school curriculum for young girls, paradoxically, the authors, with differeing ideologies, nationalities and aims, are significantly similar: education for girls should develop a harmonious link between girls’ background, and their traditional role and status.
