EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures Agneta Frances Ramsay, a pioneering figure in the history of women's education in Britain. The image, published in Punch magazine in June 1887, honours Ramsay for her co-founding role in Girton College, Cambridge. Established in 1869, Girton was the first residential college for women at a British university, paving the way for higher education opportunities for ladies. Ramsay, born in 1847, was a trailblazer in her own right. She and her sister Emily Davies worked tirelessly to ensure that women could receive a university education on equal footing with their male counterparts. Their efforts bore fruit when Girton College was officially recognized by the University of Cambridge in 1948. In this photograph, Ramsay is depicted in a formal setting, wearing a Victorian-era dress and holding a book. Her expression is serious and determined, reflecting her unwavering commitment to women's education. The caption beneath the image reads, "AGNETA FRANCES RAMSAY, Fellow-founder of Girton College, Cambridge," highlighting her significant contribution to the world of academia. This historical print serves as a testament to Ramsay's groundbreaking work and her influence on the education landscape in Britain. It is a reminder of the challenges faced and overcome by those who dared to defy societal norms and pave the way for future generations. The image, with its rich history and intriguing subject matter, is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on women's history, education, or the history of Cambridge University.
