This book examines the relatively unknown English late-Victorian
educational pioneer, Constance Louisa Maynard (1849-1935), whose
innovative London-based Westfield College produced the first female
BAs in the mid-1880s. An atypical and powerful woman, Maynard is
also notable for her unique knowledge of psychology and patriotic
Evangelicalism, both of which profoundly shaped her ambitions and
passions. In contrast to most history about an individual's life,
this book builds a fascinating life story based upon evidence and
clues from minutia. The focus is on nine enigmatic actions
motivated by Maynard in her quests for educational leadership,
global conversion, and same-sex love. Maynard's acts that she
called "mistakes," caused deep enmities with administrators and
college women. Yet amid her trials and conflicts Maynard made key
decisions about her public and private life. Moreover, her
so-called mistakes reveal astonishing new insights into a past
mindset and the rapidly changing world in which Maynard lived.
