| Abstract: |
In this chapter we present the so-called “paradox” of woman teacher and the women’s teaching profession and its consequences on the construction of women teachers’ identities and subjectivities. The chapter consists of two parts. In the first part the development of women teacher training system is presented, since it fuels the paradoxes and influences the construction of their identity and subjectivity: from their education in the “higher” girl schools, where no specific professional training is provided up to the creation of institutions of professional training (Didaskaleia). The course (from 1870 onwards) of their professional training in the two different areas (Greek state and orthodox communities) is presented separately. In the second part we present the contradictions and dilemmas women teachers face in their lives due to limited access to the public sphere, the discordance between work and marriage, the livelihood necessities, the utilisation of their literacy beyond teaching, and the stereotypical views and the caricaturish representations of the profession of women teachers. The chapter concludes with the presentation of the “other aspect”: namely, the terms created by the practicing of the profession for the transgression of socal/gendered limitations.
