Abstract:
At the end of the 19th century, the development of artistic and professional
education for women began in Galicia due to many socio-cultural and
economic factors. In the region where agriculture was dominant there were
no specialized textile industry workers, which made it difficult to establish
proper lacemaking enterprises. The development of lace depended on many
factors, mostly connected with European fashion trends and transformations
in socio-cultural life of the time. In the late 19th century, the Galician
authorities addressed the issue of low level of professional education in the
region, which meant that special education centers and specialist schools of
lacework for women had to be established. An important role in the deve lopment of artistic and professional education of women in Galicia was
played by exhibitions. The most famous centers of lace making education
were in Bobova, Kanchuga, Zakopane, Javoriv, Lviv.
