Was There Ever a Time when GirlsWeren'tin Trouble
Contemporary writing about girlhood is often gloomy in tone. Girls are represented as the victims of all manner of social trends: capitalism, consumerism, body obsessions, ‘sexualisation’, pornography, etc. Or girls themselves come under attack for bad behaviour, as ‘ladettes’ or ‘living dolls’. But in some parts of the world at least, young women enjoy more freedom and opportunities than ever before. Looking back over her own lifetime, the autho…
Material Relations
This well-researched and imaginative text has its roots in the author’s doctoral thesis and is also associated with the pioneering work of the AHRC-funded Centre for the Study of the Domestic Interior. The goal of this larger project has been to develop new histories of the home, its contents and representation. Jane Hamlett’s new book is an important addition to the rich literature which has emerged (and is still emerging) from this project: wor…
Beauty Imagined
Troubled identities
Questions of gender, prestige and identity have been closely entwined in the history of educational institutions. The last century saw a near total abandonment of the pattern of segregation by sex in the formal organisation of colleges and universities in England. The first half of this article outlines institutional history, focusing upon the replacement of singlesex by mixed colleges in the universities of London, Oxford and Cambridge. The seco…
Graduates, Mothers and Graduate Mothers
The paper examines patterns of higher education, with special reference to gender issues and the role of the family, in the early--middle years of the twentieth century. The evidence is drawn from a large-scale questionnaire survey of graduates, male and female, of the late 1930s. The results presented are primarily qualitative rather than quantitative. Three main questions are raised. First, why did children, and especially girls, want to go to …
Family Patterns of Social Mobility through Higher Education in England in the 1930s
The paper examines the role of higher education in producing social mobility in England in the 1930s. The data result from large-scale surveys of graduates of a number of non-Oxbridge universities and university colleges in those years, chosen to get a mix of circumstances. A higher proportion of women than men appeared to come from middle class backgrounds, partly because of the exclusion of Oxbridge. Men appeared to have stronger career aspirat…
Women Students and the London Medical Schools, 1914–39
During the First World War in Britain, women were exhorted to rally to the nation's need and to train as doctors. A number of the London medical schools opened their doors to female students for the first time. After the war, several of these schools reverted to their former status as exclusively male institutions. This article looks at these events in some detail, focusing on the controversies over co‐education in medicine and attempting to unra…
No Distinction of Sex? Women in British Universities, 1870-1939
Driving ambitions
This article focuses on the life-histories of some of the women who sought a medical education between 1890 and 1939, reflecting upon the extent to which these accounts share the features of a literary genre, the quest or the folk-fairy tale. It is suggested that these autobiographical and biographical narratives tell us a great deal about the tensions between gender prescriptions and vocational ambitions, particularly if they are read with caref…
Constructing Girlhood
The British federation of university women and the status of women in universities, 1907-1939
The early 1990s have marked a turning point in the history of the British Federation of University Women (BFUW), which has recently renamed itself the British Federation of Women Graduates, and has had to leave its historic premises in Crosby Hall, Chelsea. This article looks at the origin of the BFUW in the context of feminist concern with women's position in the universities in the first decade of this century. It sketches some of the difficult…

A Small Town Study
The interdisciplinary approach to the study of urban history has considerable potential for the examination of communites of manageable size. Yet, as Professor Dyos has pointed out, it is by no means clear that the proliferation of more and more case studies is a particularly useful exercise unless communities in question contain an element of typicality and are informed by the broader social and historical tendencies relating to urbanization as …
