Woman and teacher (Spanish Edition)

In 1885, in Cordoba, the first state school without religious education was founded. It will be run by women, including the young Mercedes Castro. Excited for the opportunity, she signs a contract agreeing not to wear makeup or colorful dresses, and to give up dating and marriage while she is a teacher. The city is engulfed in political flames as liberals, who support the new school, clash with traditionalists, who reject any education that isn't Catholic.

Amidst the turmoil that led the nation to sever ties with the Vatican and a severe cholera epidemic, Mercedes will experience love. At first, this love threatens her teaching vocation. However, Manuel Urtiaga, a bold and charming landowner from Buenos Aires, isn't afraid of this new breed of women. With his support, Mercedes will confront her family, society, and even the government.

With her skillful narrative and passion for everyday details and emotional depth, Viviana Rivero brings to life a powerful love story in this novel. It navigates through the ideals on which Argentina was founded, while the angular face and gray eyes of Manuel briefly crossed her mind. She pushed that image away, focusing on her school. Her desire to expand education in the country had become her priority. For now, a man and that priority were incompatible.
