Subtitled,The Remarkable Story of the first Women to Fight for an Education, Jane details what it was like for the pioneers of university education to claim their places much to the dismay of male graduates and tutors. The struggle for scholarships and funding added to the prejudices the women met but their determination won through and now the daughters, and granddaughters of the original group tell how being educated to a higher level gave them a different perspective on life.A read for all modern women who need to acknowledge the battle fought on their behalf. Excellent piece of social history.
