About

Monday 28th May 2018 to Saturday 2nd Jun 2018

Author: Jessica Swale

"There are some women who choose to overlook their natural maternal instincts in favour of academia, but the fact of the matter is that women cannot dispense with the physical limitations of their sex. A woman who expends her energy exercising her brain does so at the expense of her vital organs, leaving them unfit for motherhood".

In 1896 this was the accepted view. A woman wanting to study was unnatural and unmarriageable, yet there were those who chose this path. Girton College, Cambridge, was the first to accept women. Although they match their male peers grade for grade, they cannot graduate. This is the story of four girls and their brave tutors in their fight to change the future of education.
