A Short History of Newnham College, Cambridge (1921) is a book written by Alice Gardner that provides an in-depth account of the establishment and development of Newnham College, one of the first women's colleges at the University of Cambridge. The book traces the history of the college from its founding in 1871 to the early 20th century, exploring the challenges and triumphs faced by the women who fought for access to higher education and the role that Newnham played in the wider movement for women's rights. Gardner provides a detailed analysis of the college's curriculum, student life, and the various personalities who shaped its history, including the pioneering feminist and writer George Eliot, who served as a governor of the college. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of women's education and the struggle for gender equality in academia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
