HISTORY OF WOMENS LIVES IN OXFORD (PB)

Underneath the spires of Oxford's world-famous university, generations of women have lived, fighting for the right to study, and for a role within the city's educational, political and social spheres. In this book their lives are detailed: learn about the variety of work they undertook; their education; their social lives; and their attempts to carve out a valuable role for themselves. Learn too of the problems they faced in living their lives: poverty, prison, suicide, or even murder.
