Description: The main objectives of the research project of Dr. Elizabeth Fuentes Rojas was to document, research and value the presence of women in the former Academia de San Carlos, through the different approaches that were proposed: as a model, student, teacher and artist, and whose works are preserved in the artistic archive of the current Faculty of Arts and Design (UNAM). Previously, women's research had not been approached through this perspective, which was based mainly on archival documents, on the review of drawing collections that report their performance in their formative stage and in the press of the time. In the mid-19th century women in Mexico began to make applications to formally enroll in the art courses, although teaching remained restricted only to male students for more than 100 years of existence of the academy. Until 1898 a special course for young ladies was established to facilitate the drawing exercises of copying of human figure, but it was until the first decade of the 20th century that natural model drawings were carried out female and male, made by women. The publication is an effort to publicize the work of the female gender and value their work, through the review of innumerable documents and sets of drawings of figure, landscape, ornamentation, geometric strokes and imitation, existing in the artistic heritage of the Faculty.
