Recent scholarship has considerably expanded our knowledge and understanding of the history of women’s education in Britain in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, shedding light on movements to ‘reform’ and develop girls’ schooling and higher education and uncovering the ambiguous legacies of pioneering teachers and lecturers. This conference seeks to build on such work by approaching the theme from a variety of historical perspectives. It hopes to investigate the broader cultural, economic and political dimensions to educational reform.

Speakers include: Dinah Birch, Michèle Cohen, Joyce Goodman, Janet Howarth, Jane Martin, Gillian Sutherland and Ruth Watts

Conservatism and Anglicanism

British women’s education in comparative perspective
Deadline for Registration – 9th August 2004. For accommodation and/or to attend the conference dinner – 21st June 2004
