Abstract
La incorporación de las mujeres a la actividad farmacéutica corre paralela a su actividad social. En este artículo nos ocupamos de describir el proceso que llevó a las mujeres a cursar, en la España metropolitana, los estudios de la Licenciatura en Farmacia. Utilizando los Anuarios Estadísticos de España (Fondo documental del Instituto Nacional de Estadística) cuantificamos la presencia de mujeres entre los inicios de la década de 1910 y el comienzo de la Guerra Civil española (1936), constatando una línea claramente ascendente; el mítico 10% del alumnado femenino se supera, en lo que a los estudios de Farmacia respecta, en el curso 1922/23. Los porcentajes de alumnas matriculadas en las Facultades de Farmacia tienden a la estabilización en el gozne de las décadas de 1920 a 1930; en el curso 1932/33 este porcentaje femenino rozaba un 20% (19.95%). De acuerdo con los datos ofrecidos por los Anuarios Estadísticos de España, fue la Facultad de Farmacia de la Universidad Central la que recibió un mayor número de alumnas; sus valores más altos se alcanzan durante el curso 1928/29 (32.15%); las otras universidades hispanas donde podían cursarse los estudios de Farmacia: Barcelona, Santiago de Compostela y Granada, presenta valores significativamente más bajos que la Central.
The presence of women into pharmaceutical activity runs parallel to their incorporation into social activity. In this article we describe the process that led women to take, in the metropolitan Spain, studies of Pharmacy, also analysing, in line with the narrative discourse, the regulations of this studies. Using the Statistical Yearbooks of Spain (Documentary Fund of the National Institute of Statistics), we quantify the presence of women between the beginning of the 1910s and the beginning of the Spanish Civil War (1936), noting a clearly ascending line; the mythical 10% of female students is exceeded, as far as Pharmacy studies are concerned, in the 1922/23 academic year. The percentages of female students enrolled in the Spanish Faculties of Pharmacy tend to stabilize in the hinge of the decades from 1920 to 1930; in the 1932/33 academic year, this female percentage was close to 20% (19.95%). According to the data provided by the Statistical Yearbooks of Spain, it was the Central University that received the highest number of female students; its highest values are reached during the 1928/29 academic year (32.15%); the other Hispanic universities where they could study Pharmacy: Barcelona, Santiago de Compostela and Granada, present significantly lower values than the Central one.
