Girton College

Girton College is one of the 31 constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge. It was England's first residential women's college, established in 1869 by Emily Davies and Barbara Bodichon.

The wish to improve women's education developed from the early feminist movement in the 1860s: Emily Davies and Barbara Bodichon met through their activism at the Society for the Employment of Women and the Englishwoman's Review. They shared the aim of securing women's admission to university. In 1862, they met to determine whether girls could be admitted at Oxford or Cambridge to sit the Senior and Junior Local Examinations. A committee was set up to that effect, and in 1865, with the help of Henry Tomkinson, ninety-one girls entered the Cambridge Local Examination. This first concession to women's educational rights met relatively little resistance, as admission to the examination did not imply residence of women at the university site.

The colour reproductions are from the original Photochroms. Photochrom was a technique developed in Switzerland in the 19th century for colouring black and white photographs using up to fourteen lithograph stones. This created a coloured image with a combined look something between a photograph and painting. The photochrome comes on museum quality canvas producing stunning reproduction detail and colour. Fine art canvas prints are available in two sizes, and can be supplied to anywhere around the globe through our secure online ordering system.
