From the Railway Station to the Senate House: Women at Cambridge 1869-1948

This illustrated talk by Liz Duignan will examine the complexities of the almost eighty year struggle for women’s higher education at Cambridge, set against a backdrop of societal attitudes and the resistance of both the University and the colleges.

This is one of the talks in the Spring Programme of Local Events,  supported by Richmond, Oxford and Windsor Roads’ Residents’ Associations, and Benson Area Residents’ Association, and compiled by St Augustine’s Church.  All the events listed are held at St Augustine’s Church and Community Centre in Richmond Road and are open to all. Entry is normally free, with a retiring collection, although a small charge may be made when requested by speakers or performers. A complimentary glass of wine or fruit juice, and nibbles, are served at most events.
