before ww2, certainly, in southern europe, also in Portugal, teachers and health professionals were man. we were specially conservative, assume similar things from late 19th century, to 1940's for other places. tales about professors in France, for those years, are about man

Iberia or south europe may be a special case, were gender roles were hiper conservative, we were much later to change see here progression for US, change from man to women as teachers happens between 1850/1900, Portugal was the case still by early 1900's https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena.mit.edu/org/w/wgs/prize/eb04.html …pic.twitter.com/PXDmfFrUDI
