Description

Explore a significant era of social change with No Distinction Of Sex?: Women In British Universities, 1870-1939. By 1939, women made up nearly one quarter of the student population in British universities, marking a period that many contemporaries viewed as a social revolution. This historical study examines the expansion of female education and the varying attitudes held by different institutions during this time. While Oxford and Cambridge often maintained prejudice and hostility toward female students, the younger civic universities took a different approach. Many of these institutions advertised themselves as making no distinction of sex regarding admissions, appointments, or educational policy. This work of social history uses extensive archival research to provide a detailed look at how women navigated the academic landscape. It offers a deep dive into the gender history of British higher education, filling a gap in the existing historical record and providing new perspectives on the evolution of university life.
