Description
Originally published in 1947, this book presents a series of reminiscences by Mary Paley Marshall (1850-1944), a distinguished economist and one of the first women to study at Cambridge University. The memoir includes beautifully written accounts of her childhood, the beginnings of Newnham College, her time in Bristol, travels in Sicily, a move to Oxford and her return to Cambridge during the 1880s. Appendices and numerous illustrative figures are also incorporated, together with an introduction by the historian G. M. Trevelyan. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Paley Marshall, Cambridge University and the history of female education.
