The study consists of a historical comparative analysis covering the period from the emergence of the dualist Austria-Hungary (1867) until World War I (1914). During the period covered in this article, many changes were implemented in women¡¯s teacher education. Before the year 1869, women who wanted to become teachers acquired the necessary knowledge as nuns in monasteries, in private girls¡¯ schools, or at home. The Austrian school legislation of 1869 had a quantitative and qualitative influence on the development and organisation of women¡¯s teacher training colleges and on the quality of women¡¯s teacher education. Women teachers became state employees. Analysis of the legislation showed differences between the syllabuses of women¡¯s teacher training colleges in Slovenian and Croatian lands. The syllabuses were adapted to the requirements of individual lands. A comparison of their activities also shows differences in development, number, and organisation. New state women¡¯s teacher training colleges and private ones with public accreditation appeared. In Slovenian lands, under the Austrian school legislation, the development of four-year women¡¯s teacher training colleges was somewhat faster than in Croatian lands. The comparison shows that private women¡¯s teacher training colleges were predominant and women¡¯s teacher education became more standardised and professionalised both in Slovenian and Croatian lands %K Austria-Hungary %K women¡¯s teacher education %K women¡¯s school legislation %K women¡¯s teacher training colleges %K Slovenian and Croatian lands %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=328304
