EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history, depicting "The Question of Women's Degrees at Cambridge" before the poll at the corner of Trinity Street. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases a pivotal event that unfolded during a time when women's rights were fiercely debated. Intriguingly, this print belongs to a private collection and offers us a glimpse into the past. The scene is filled with bustling crowds as people gather to express their opinions on whether women should be granted degrees from Cambridge University. The atmosphere is charged with energy, as protesters raise their voices and demonstrate for equal educational opportunities. Published originally in The Graphic on May 29,1897, this illustration serves as both documentation and commentary on the ongoing struggle for gender equality within academia. It symbolizes not only the determination of those fighting for change but also highlights society's resistance to progress. Through photography, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how these demonstrations played out. This image invites contemplation about societal norms and challenges faced by women seeking higher education during that era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artifact from our collective memory, reminding us of the courage it took to challenge established conventions and pave the way for future generations of female scholars.
