Google Doodle celebrates 148th birthday of feminist and educator Isabelle Gatti de Gamond
Isabelle Gatti Gamond was born in Paris on 28 July 1839. Her family moved to Brussels when she was 5-year-old.

Google Doodle is celebrating the 148th birthday of Belgian educator and one of the first feminists, Isabelle Gatti Gamond. The Belgian educator is responsible for founding the first secondary school for women in Belgium and is credited with writing the book on the country’s female education system.
Isabelle Gatti Gamond was born in Paris on 28 July 1839. Her family moved to Brussels when she was 5-year-old. Following her mother’s death in 1854, Gamond sought work to support her family. She reportedly worked as a private tutor for a Polish noble family. Her time with the Polish family is said to have inspired her interest in ancient Greek, Latin and philosophy.
On the education front, she completed her education through government funded courses in Brussels, with a keen interest on how to help more women attend schools. The feminist and educator also shared her thoughts on women’s education through a journal she founded named L’Education de la Femme.
Later in 1864, Gatti Gamond joined forces with Brussels City Council to establish systematic courses for the secondary education of women, named Cours d’Education pour jeunes filles. This initiative later became the first secular secondary schools for girls. Additionally, in 1891, advanced and pre-university sections were set up. As far as records are concerned, some of the women who studied at Gamond’s school became the first in the country to attend university, work in parliament or become lawyers.
In addition, due to her passion for women’s rights, Gatti de Gamond also entered into politics briefly. She worked for the Belgian Labour Party. Reportedly, she advocated for universal adult suffrage before becoming disillusioned when the party only supported male’s voting rights. As per reports, her schools carry on to educate female students till today. However, Gatti Gamond retired as an educator in 1899.
