Attractively illustrated and engagingly written, Faith, Duty and
the Power of Mind is the story of an English middle-class family
and their fortunes. At its centre are two women: Anne Jemima Clough
and her niece, Blanche Athena Clough. Their experiences show the
particular vulnerability of middle-class women to economic reverse;
and as first and fourth principals of Newnham College, Cambridge,
their lives and work enact the revolution in women's education
which allowed women too, at last to enter professional occupations
and construct their own economic lifelines. Anne Jemima's brother
and Blanche Athena's father was the poet, Arthur Hugh Clough, who
lost his Christian faith painfully and publicly at the end of the
1840s. Yet loss of faith did not free these generations from a
sense of duty. Rather it strengthened that sense, which led in turn
into the ethic and rhetoric of service which marked English
professional life.
