Higher Education for Women in Great Britain

The pamphlet traces the expansion of educational opportunities for girls and women in Britain, surveying the emergence of secondary schools, residential colleges, and the opening of university examinations and degrees to female students. It outlines the general structure of elementary and secondary provision, types of schools, teacher training, the foundation of women’s colleges and residential provision, and the gradual removal of barriers to university membership and graduation. Practical matters such as careers available to graduates, opportunities for foreign students, federation support for scholarships and international exchange, and an appendix on the national federation conclude the account.
