The purpose of this paper is to describe the education of women in 19th-century Croatia. In this period, Croatia witnessed significant political, cultural and social changes that had a great impact on the development of modern society. In this paper, the emphasis was placed on the changes that have occurred in the Croatian educational system, concerning the education of women. The topic of education of women in Croatia is interesting to study when it comes to this period, precisely because the beginning of the 19th century is a time in which the traditional norms and conventions were giving women the role of a housewife and a mother who does not have the same opportunity for formal upbringing and education as a man of her age. On the other hand, the 19th century is marked as a period in which such norms and societal attitudes began to change under the influence of industrialization, economic development, liberal ideas, and emancipatory movements. This paper will describe the societal and historical context, as well as the factors that influenced the occurrence of these changes in the educational system regarding women. It will also address changes related to women's status in society and the struggles for women's rights. Furthermore, it will provide a historical overview and description of significant events, reforms, and activist actions that had unfolded throughout the century, reshaping the educational system and laying the foundation for modernization and improvement. Finally, the paper emphasizes the crucial female figures who were instrumental in making significant changes to the Croatian educational system in the context of women's education. These figures include Marija Jambrišak, Milka Pogačić, Jagoda Truhelka, and Dragojla Jarnević.
