The work chronicles the development and establishment of Newnham College, one of the first women's colleges at Cambridge University, from its inception in the early 1870s to its recognition as a formal institution by the University in 1881. The book focuses on the pioneering efforts of early founders and educators, such as Professor Henry Sidgwick and Miss Anne J. Clough, who worked tirelessly to secure higher education opportunities for women at a time when such pursuits were met with considerable societal resistance. The opening of the book introduces readers to the early days of Newnham College, describing its gradual formation starting with a small gathering of women seeking educational opportunities in Cambridge. Gardner emphasizes the role of influential figures, particularly Miss Clough, in fostering a nurturing learning environment amid various challenges. The narrative highlights the educational barriers women faced, as well as the advocacy efforts that led to the establishment of a college dedicated to their academic advancement. Notably, the text paints a vivid picture of the communal and intellectual spirit that characterized the initial cohort of Newnham students and their desire for serious scholarly engagement against the backdrop of a restrictive educational landscape.
