Abstract

Between political-social level, on one hand, and historical-educational look, on the other, the contribution draws on the documentary fund of a female teacher native of Molise that was among the 28 young students enrolled in the “Female High School of Home Economics”  managed in the thirties of the XX century by the PNF, to focus on the action of school discipline and cultural homologation conducted among its educational walls, ensuring the values and educational models transmitted by the fascist regime to women, starting from those classrooms.
