The name of Sarah Kasymovna Shakulova, the daughter of an honorary citizen of Kasimov, is widely known. Having received brilliant mathematical education, Shakulova’s outstanding career, successful work in the field of education, and active life position have been adequately reflected in historical works. However, her personal century-old documents have not been researched in women’s history. These are the formular and biographical questionnaire discovered by us in the funds of the State Archive of the Russian Federation, which are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time in this article. They are weighty sources about important biographical markers of Tatar ‘Sophia Kovalevskaya’ and her relatives. The answers “from the first person” recorded the difficulties that stood in the way of the “other faith” in professional work in the field of education. The content of the submitted documents sheds light on the material component of the teacher's work at the end of the politically turbulent 1910s and at the beginning of the formation of secular education in the young Soviet state. Written by the hand of an outstanding woman, these documents are important historical artifacts of the national culture of the Tatars. In addition, the presented documents complement the source base on the problem of studying the processes of women’s emancipation in the early twentieth century and their high need to acquire societal status.

Keywords: extraterritorial groups of Tatars, Kasimov Tatars, G. Kasimov, S.K. Shakulova, women’s history, national education, Tatar school, emancipation.
