Routledge Women's University Narratives 1890-1945 Vol IV

Explore a significant era of academic history with Women's University Narratives, 1890-1945, Part II: Volume IV: 4 from Routledge Historical Resources. This collection captures the period between 1890 and 1945, a time when British university life underwent massive transformations. This volume focuses on a specific group of narratives: fiction centered on the lives of women students. As women were newly admitted to higher education systems, their presence often faced strong opposition, particularly at Oxbridge. These stories provide a look at the social tensions and the changing landscape of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By gathering novels and short stories that were widely debated in the public sphere but are largely unknown today, this work offers a unique perspective on the struggles and experiences of women in academia. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of education and the social shifts within British universities during this transformative period.
