Summary/Abstract: Families belonging to the Hungarian middle class often had their daughters enrolled at the teacher training colleges, because these provided them adequate education as mothers, and if needed, they could even get jobs. The discussion about the right of teachers to private life, that is, to marriage and family, and if these were realized, about the suitability for teaching, developed in the last decades of the 19th century further continued in the first decades of the 20th century. The focus of the research in this case not only is the change in the count rate of teachers on the field, but also the evolution of their marital status.
