TAPIA GONZALEZ, Georgina Aimé. Graciela Hierro: Philosophy of Education in Gender Code. Rev. interdiscip. estud. género Col. Méx. [online]. 2017, vol.3, n.5, pp.1-22. ISSN 2395-9185.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eg.v3i5.94.

The development of feminist theory and gender studies in Mexico cannot be understood without the work of Graciela Hierro. The aim of this article is to show the lasting value of her ethical proposal for a feminist education, as well as recognizing her contributions. I will deal with this in three sections: in the first one I will present her feminist ethics as a foundation of an education for women; in the second I will carry out a brief historical review of the philosophy of education from the viewpoint of Mexican female philosophers, and in the third, I will show the practical implications of the ethics of pleasure in women formation, from childhood to old age. My principal thesis is that Hierro’s ethics constitute the fundamentals for a philosophy of education that originates from feminist geneaology to Mexican culture through the visibilization of the legacy of local thinkers, that, from different standpoints, have reflected upon the “female question”.

Keywords : education; ethics; feminism; gender.
