Product Description
Review
After all that has been written about the narcissistic, self-important, masculine coterie of the Cambridge Apostles, it is a pleasure to read this book about the other Cambridge. Hugh Trevor-Roper, Sunday Telegraph

Product Description
This is a collection of portraits of twelve outstanding women who lived and worked in Cambridge during the century before women were admitted fully to membership of the University. The subjects include Jane Harrison, distinguished scholar of Greek religion, Mrs Sidgwick, founder of Newnham College, Eileen Power, medieval historian, Nora Chadwick, scholar of Norse and Celtic, Honor Fell, cell biologist and founding force behind the Strangeways Laboratory, Frances Cornford, poet, and Rosalind Franklin, whose work on DNA was essential to the Watson-Crick model. All were outstanding personalities as well as distinguished scholars, and the twelve portraits give a vivid account of their lives and work.

First Sentence
In Clough Hall, Newnham College, after contemplating the noble plasterwork of the walls and ceiling and the immense windows, the eye comes to rest on the formidable portraits which hang behind High Table: one of the College's founder, Henry Sidgwick, and those of his first Principal, Anne Jemima Clough, and the second Principal, Eleanor Mildred Sidgwick, his wife. Read the first page
