EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the resistance faced by women seeking higher education at Cambridge University. Taken circa 1897, it depicts male undergraduates protesting against the full admission of female students. The scene unfolds in Market Square, with Great St Marys Church standing tall in the background. In this powerful image, we witness an act of defiance as an effigy of a New Woman on a bicycle is hung from a window. Symbolizing progress and independence for women, the bicycle becomes both a tool for liberation and a target for opposition. This demonstration serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by pioneering women who dared to challenge societal norms. The composition beautifully juxtaposes tradition and change; while Great St Marys Church represents centuries-old institutions steeped in patriarchy, the protest signifies winds of change blowing through Cambridge's hallowed halls. It encapsulates not only gender inequality but also highlights how education became one battleground where women fought for their rights. Preserved by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, this print offers us an invaluable glimpse into our collective past—a testament to resilience and determination that paved the way for future generations. As we reflect upon this historic moment captured within these frames, may it serve as inspiration to continue advocating for equality and inclusivity within educational institutions worldwide.
