1866. Emily Davies, British feminist and cofounder of Girton
College, Cambridge, was an advocate for obtaining the admission of
women to university examinations. Out of this undertaking grew a
committee to form a college for women. The college was organized at
Hitchin, Hertfordshire and then transferred to Cambridge as Girton
College. Davies was mistress of the college and its honorary
secretary until 1904. She was closely associated with the English
woman-suffrage movement and was active in organizing the first
woman-suffrage petition presented to Parliament by John Stuart Mill
in 1866. The Higher Education of Women is one of her writings.
