Morelos Rodríguez, Lucero (Author)
In 1910, the National University of Mexico was founded; this educational project gathered together the main national schools of higher education, such as the National Engineering School. The National University inherited the legacy of the Royal School of Mines, which opened its doors in 1792 aiming to train young students in mineral exploration and exploitation based on a scientific approach. In 1867, this school gave birth to a civil engineering program and later, courses in mechanical and industrial engineering and metallurgy were added. Nevertheless, during the 19th Century, all registered enrollments were exclusively male; it would take until 1910 for when the first female student, Dolores Rubio, was enrolled. In this paper, I will study Dolores Rubio’s entry into the metallurgy program in the National Engineering School, and, as a parallel subject, I will also analyze her professional performance as Preparator of the Cabinet of Mineralogy, Geology and Paleontology in this institution. Based on this research and its source documents, some ideas regarding the role of women in society, science and engineering at the beginning of the 20th Century in Mexico will also be presented.
