These transformations were accompanied by a series of social imbalances that affected the low-income sectors. In this context, a set of practices seeking to mitigate material and moral deficit of these sectors emerged. These practices drew up vague and moving limits between civil society and the State in the distribution of welfare and assistance to the poor. Our attention focuses on the domestic service, made up mostly of poor women. In this area, this work analyses the so-called “maid schools” that existed in the city of Córdoba in the decades of 1910 and 1920. These were managed by charity and/or religious organisations. We will examine their objectives and functions, their functioning and impact on the labour market and the maids. This work uses mainly the press, charity associations’ reports and administrative documentation from Cordoba City Hall as their primary research sources. Este trabajo se inserta en una línea de investigación sobre los pobres y la pobreza en Córdoba, Argentina, en el marco de grandes transformaciones producidas entre fines del siglo XIX y las primeras décadas del siglo XX, como la modernización material y social, la urbanización, la institucionalización estatal y el crecimiento económico. Dichos cambios fueron acompañados de una serie de desajustes sociales que afectaron a los sectores populares. En este contexto emergió un conjunto de prácticas destinadas a mitigar el déficit material y moral de esos grupos, que dibujaron fronteras difusas y móviles entre la sociedad civil y el Estado en la distribución de bienestar y la asistencia a los pobres. Nuestra atención se concentra en el servicio doméstico, integrado mayormente por mujeres pobres. En esta línea, este trabajo estudia las denominadas “escuelas de sirvientas” existentes en la ciudad de Córdoba en las décadas de 1910 y 1920, gestionadas por organizaciones benéficas y/o religiosas; se examinan sus objetivos y funciones, funcionamiento e impacto sobre el mercado laboral y sobre las domésticas. Se utiliza sobre todo la prensa, memorias de asociaciones benéficas y documentación administrativa de la Municipalidad de Córdoba.
