description Colombian women’s access to higher education was gradual in the first decades of the 20th century. The National Ethnological Institute was established in 1941, marking the beginning of the professionalization of anthropology in Colombia. The Institute trained both men and women equally, accepting students from all over the country who excelled in high school and participated in its professional practice, fieldwork, and classrooms. This article analyzes the cases of Colombian anthropologists Blanca Ochoa Sierra and Edith Jiménez Arbeláez. I explore the feminist movement that made it possible for women to get into University during the educational changes that took place in the 1930s and 1940s. Afterwards, I analyzed their careers within the framework of the specialized training educational projects of the Escuela Normal Superior and the Instituto Etnológico Nacional. Finally, I addressed their contributions to Colombian museology through their practice as anthropologists. In this way, it proposes to recognize them as pioneers in these two disciplinary fields.

El acceso de las mujeres colombianas a la educación superior fue gradual en las primeras décadas del siglo XX. La profesionalización de la antropología en Colombia tuvo lugar en 1941 con la creación del Instituto Etnológico Nacional, al cual ingresaron bachilleres destacados de distintas regiones del país y dio un trato igualitario a mujeres y hombres en su formación, quienes participaron de las aulas, las expediciones y el ejercicio profesional en el Instituto. En este artículo, a través del caso de las antropólogas colombianas Blanca Ochoa Sierra y Edith Jiménez Arbelaéz se exploran las luchas feministas que hicieron posible el ingreso de la mujer a la Universidad, así como los cambios educativos que acontecieron en las décadas de 1930 y 1940. Por otra parte, se analiza su trayectoria en el marco de los proyectos educativos de formación especializada de la Escuela Normal Superior y el Instituto Etnológico Nacional. Finalmente, se aborda sus aportes a la museología colombiana a través de su ejercicio como antropólogas, en esta vía, se propone reconocerlas como pioneras de estos dos campos disciplinares. O acesso das mulheres colombianas ao ensino superior foi gradual nas primeiras décadas do século XX. A profissionalização da antropologia na Colômbia ocorreu em 1941, com a criação do Instituto Nacional de Etnologia, que admitia graduados do ensino médio de destaque de diferentes regiões do país e dava tratamento igualitário a mulheres e homens em sua formação, que participavam das aulas, das expedições e da prática profissional no Instituto. Neste artigo, por meio do caso das antropólogas colombianas Blanca Ochoa Sierra e Edith Jiménez Arbelaéz, exploramos as lutas feministas que possibilitaram o ingresso das mulheres na Universidade, bem como as mudanças educacionais ocorridas nas décadas de 1930 e 1940. Também analisa sua carreira dentro da estrutura dos projetos de treinamento educacional especializado da Escuela Normal Superior e do Instituto Etnológico Nacional (Instituto Nacional de Etnologia). Por fim, analisa suas contribuições para a museologia colombiana por meio de seu trabalho como antropólogas, com o objetivo de reconhecê-las como pioneiras nesses dois campos disciplinares.
