Abstract

In this proposal we present a feminist critical analysis of the importance that nurses haveplayed, being the life story of the nurse Águeda Medina Soto an example of her relevance in Jaén.In this sense, the methodology that facilitates the study of our recent past is life history, this beingpart of a critical-reflective intergenerational analysis, establishing cause-effect between personal experiences, society and Nursing. In addition, linking it with the gender perspective, it provides uswith another necessary analysis to reflect on how society was formed, the access and limitationsthat were presented to women of the time for incorporation into the nursing branch, in addition tothe difference structural and recognition of sex-gender roles between women and men who exercised these trades (nurses and interns respectively). The results obtained show the usefulness offered by the life history, to make visible the differences both structural, academic and sex-genderdifferentiated practices associated with nurses and practitioners. In turn, make visible the socialrelevance of nurses within the health field in the culture of care, through the case of nurse Águeda.(AU)
