About this Event
"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."
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.
Standard Adult Ticket: £10
