‘Women at the Universities’, from Leisure Hour, August 1898, pp 433-442, illustrated with images chiefly of Girton College, also Newnham College; Somerville College, Oxford; and Bedford College, London (the latter including Miss Penrose, ‘late principal of Bedford College, now of Holloway College’). Begins with historical reference to women’s education back to Tennyson’s ‘sweet girl-graduates’ [The Princess, 1847]; Daniel Defoe’s proposals for women’s education in 1697; the middle ages; and Plato; then moving forward to Queen’s College, Harley Street; Girton and Newnham Colleges in Cambridge; Oxford; London (Bedford and Holloway Colleges); the Victoria University in Manchester; Wales; Scotland; and Trinity College, Dublin. Concludes by comparing the British situation with the rest of Europe and a final section headed ‘Are women happier or better?’.
