1903180101903. Archive of 2 pamphlets "List of Public Secondary Schools for Girls" 1903 and 1905. Issued by the Association of Head Mistresses. 8.5" x 5.5" inches. Soft blue covers read "One Shilling Published by the Educational Supply Association 42 Holborn Viaduct E.C." The entries inside are arranged by county and list all public secondary schools open to girls at the time. Women's schools were opened throughout the Victorian era in response to women's growing frustration with the poor quality of education available to them but the issue remained hotly contested into the 20th century. When Cambridge voted to admit women in 1897 there were riots in the streets with effigies of female scholars burned and fireworks thrown at the windows of women's colleges. Still young girls pursued secondary education in hope of college admission upon graduation. This archive speaks to the faith required by history's slow turns. Front covers stamped with "Board of Education Library" and "Supplied Public Service" both with the royal crown and back covers carry red "Board of Education Reference Library" sticker. Textblocks tight bright and clean. Very good condition. unknown
