    L Margery Spring Rice UCY LUCY POLLARD Pioneer of Women’s Health in the Early P Twentieth Century OLLARD LUCY POLLARD This book vividly presents the story of Margery Spring Rice, an instrumental fi gure in the movements of women’s health and family planning in the fi rst half of the twen� eth century. Margery Spring Rice, née Garre� , was born into a family of formidable female trailblazers — niece of physician and suff ragist Elizabeth Garre� Anderson, and of Millicent Fawce� , a leading suff ragist and campaigner for equal rights for women. Margery Spring Rice con� nued this legacy with her co-founding of the North Kensington birth control clinic in 1924, three years a� er Marie Stopes founded the fi rst clinic in Britain.

Her life unfolds against the M turbulent backdrop of the early twen� eth century — a period which sees ARGERY the entry of women into higher educa� on, and the upheaval and societal upshots of two world wars.

  • The Strategies of the Kensington Society in the Mid- Victorian Women's Movement
    DISSENT, DISCUSSION AND DISSEMINATION: THE STRATEGIES OF THE KENSINGTON SOCIETY IN THE MID-VICTORIAN WOMEN’S MOVEMENT REBEKAH JULIA FAIRGRAY CURRER ORCID: 0000-0002-6276-3586 SUBMITTED IN TOTAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (ARTS) SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL STUDIES THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE FEBRUARY 2020 That from Discussion’s lip may fall What Life, that, working strongly, binds – Set in all lights by many minds, To close the interests of all. Lord Alfred Tennyson, Love Thou Thy Land, 1842, as quoted in the English Woman’s Journal, Vol. II, No. 9 (Nov. 1858) 159. ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the strategic communication of mid-nineteenth century British feminism through the activism and networking of the Kensington Society (1850-1890). Collectively and individually, the sixty-eight members of Britain’s first female-only discussion society practised a range of intellectual communication strategies to reform the position of women in society. In combining literary historical and communication approaches, it also aims to readdress the intellectual heritage of the Kensington Society, asking why it was established, and how it was utilised to spark a wider discussion on women’s rights in mid-nineteenth century Britain. To do so, the thesis investigates the political and religious dissenting heritage of the sixty-eight members; their English Woman’s Journal; discussion through private letters and publications, and their involvement in founding Britain’s first women’s tertiary college, Girton College, Cambridge. Through a historicist examination of the communication of the Kensington Society, it specifically examines the pivotal role the Society played in the individual reforms of its members, and the wider women’s movement of Victorian England.

  • Inventing Tradition/Coping with Change
    1 Inventing Tradition/Coping with Change: the Women's Colleges in late l9th and early 20th Century Cambridge Joyce Senders Pedersen In l908, Emma List, earlier a student at Girton College, Cambridge, published a volume of verse and essays celebrating the traditions of the college.1 The titular poem "Girton my Friend" recalls the charms of the buildings and the countryside. An essay evokes golden summer days spent with a Girton Reading Party during the Long Vacation. There are poems about "Hall" (where meals were taken), "Tray" (evening cocoa parties in the girls' rooms), "A Fire Alarm," "My Friends," and "The Dons" ("Friends of our past's best memory. / Ye the kind and the wise"). Given these effusions, it comes as something of a surprise that "the kind and the wise" had judged Emma incompetent. She failed the math tripos (honors examination) in l903. Captivated by the traditions of college life, Emma evidently accepted the verdict without rancor. Emma's experience points up a dilemma at the heart of modern university and professional culture: how to secure acceptance of meritocratic norms and values when these conflict with individual self-interest. According to liberal paradigms of history, the realm of tradition (in which legitimacy derives from precedent) should everywhere be in retreat with the advance of rational, calculative out-looks and bureaucratic forms of organization, as part of what Max Weber famously termed the "disenchantment" of the world.2 However, as a much-remarked volume on The Invention of Tradition made clear, new traditions blossomed in many institutional contexts in the l9th and early 20th century.3 These invented traditions lent legitimacy to what were in many cases new communities, new status and power relationships, new values and behavioral norms.

  • The Commemoration of Benefactors the Last 10 Years
    THE COMMEMORATION OF BENEFACTORS THE LAST 10 YEARS The Commemoration of Benefactors is an annual ceremony held in the Chapel to celebrate the wisdom and foresight of our predecessors. Each year we read a list of names to thank those who have supported this College. One person is always profiled to remind us of the vitality of them all. In this special anniversary year, we offer a glimpse of all ten benefactors featured in the last decade. 2019 Emily Davies (1830 – 1921) In 2019 Professor Susan J. Smith, Mistress of Girton College, gives a talk on the life of (Sarah) Emily Davies 1830 - 1921. Born in Southampton, to a middle class family, Emily Davies had a somewhat itinerant childhood (her father being a Parish priest and writer). She moved to Gateshead when she was nine, and spent much of her early twenties caring for two of her siblings and carrying out family duties. She resented being denied the proper education afforded to her brothers and found life at home quite dull. By the time, in the late 1850s, she met the unconventional, charismatic Barbara Bodichon in Algiers, and like-minded feminists at Langham Place in London, her sister and one brother had died, a second brother following soon after. Her remaining sibling, Llewelyn, lived in London, and in 1862, a year after the death of her father, Emily and her mother, Mary Hopkinson, moved to the capital.

Both these movements have been well-documented, but the role which women played in housing has received little attention from historians of housing, and conversely, the issue of housing has largely been overlooked by historians of the women's movement. Definitions of home and housing are explored, together with the way in which the dominant ideology of the home, and women's role within it, was constructed in the period.

It consists of two parts, respectively on Britain and Germany. Contending conceptions of middle-class women's minds and bodies and their related social roles are explored from the time of the emergence of demands by the organized women's movements in each country to reform middle-class women's education, until after the institutionalisation of women's higher education. The thesis examines how in Britain scientists and physicians became the main participants, as well as feminists, in the public debates about women's education. As for Germany, it focuses on the intervention of academics, physicians, racial hygienists, and sexologists in the debates.
