On today's broadcast we would like to take you back in time and visit the Residencia de Señoritas, which was located in Fortuny Street, number 53, in Madrid, at the beginning of the 20th century. The Residencia was founded in 1915 with only three students, but it quickly grew in popularity, by the end of that year there were 36 students enrolled from all over Spain and by 1936, when it shut down, there were 250 students every year.
To learn all about what is considered to be the first university education center for women in Spain, we visited the historical building and spoke with Noemi Cueto, art historian, director of institutional relations of the Ortega-Marañon foundation and member of the scientific committee of the exhibition about the Residencia.
