By 1939 women represented nearly one quarter of the student
population in British universities. Though tantamount to a "social
revolution" in the eyes of many contemporaries, the process has
recieved scant attention from historians. Whilst prejudice and
hostility towards women lingered on in Oxford and Cambridge, it has
often been assumed that the female presence was welcomed elsewhere.
The younger, civic universities commonly advertised themselves as
making "no distinction of sex" in admissions, appointments, or in
educational policy. This work of social history, based on extensive
archival research, examines the truth of these claims and explores
the experiences of women teachers and students in this period.
