This thesis examines women's education in Cajamarca, Peru and documents the personal experiences of those women who initiated and experienced the change in this field. On November 15, 1934, Law Number 7983 created the first normal school for women in Cajamarca The social and economic impact of this institution was tremendous not only locally for the city and department of Cajamarca, but regionally for northern Peru. Young women came from many cities in northern Peru to study in Cajamarca. Many of these women returned to their communities and pursued careers in education A recorded history of Santa Teresita Normal School and the women responsible for it serves as a testimony of the positive cultural change still being realized in Cajamarca, Peru. The history of this institution and the lives of the women affected by it are integral for understanding the role of women in the history of Peru / acase@tulane.edu
