A Short History of Newnham College, Cambridge is a comprehensive account of the foundation and early years of Newnham College, one of the first women's colleges at the University of Cambridge. Written by Alice Gardner, a prominent historian and former lecturer at Newnham, the book traces the college's origins back to the late 19th century, when a group of pioneering women began to campaign for access to higher education. Gardner describes the challenges faced by these early students, including the lack of facilities and resources, as well as the hostility and prejudice they encountered from some of their male counterparts. Despite these obstacles, Newnham College flourished in its first few decades, attracting a diverse and talented student body and establishing itself as a leading institution for women's education. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and official records, Gardner provides a vivid and engaging account of the college's early years, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history of women's education in Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
