It was in 1994 when the Universitat de València introduced for the first time in the former Spanish undergraduate degree of History the teaching of Women and Gender’s History. It was made as pioneer way and taking part in the first Spanish universities that did it.

The centre has been teaching this subject for more than two uninterrupted decades, through a subject that began as an elective and, after adapting to the successive changes in curricula, today it forms part of the History Degree as compulsory, integrated into the contents that all students -future historians and historians- have to follow.
