Introduction: A journey through the history of nursing from a gender perspective allows us to understand the link between nursing and the female figure over time and the progress experienced during the first half of the twentieth century. The theoretical framework establishes the basis of the work in order to understand the importance of the feminist movement and its influence on laws against gender discrimination, establishing a link with the figure of the nurse. Objectives: To describe the process of the creation of the Nursing degree in Spain (1915) from a gender perspective. Methodology: This study is a historical-narrative review carried out in three phases and consulting the main databases such as Dialnet, SciELO, MEDLINE/PubMed, SciELO, CINAHL, CUIDEN, ScienceDirect. Results: The advancement of the nursing profession is produced by the passage from the domestic sphere to the hospital sphere from the legal and scientific recognition. Thanks to the involvement of the Congregation of the Servants of Mary in May 1915, the professional activity was recognised and the official title of Nursing was created in Spain. Conclusions: This work reflects the difficulties involved in overcoming the barriers of mentalities that make up society and the lack of changes at transversal political levels in society and culture, thus giving importance to qualitative research in order to reflect these facts.
