Blue Stockings by Jessica Swale

In 1896, at Cambridge University’s Girton College, Tess Moffatt and her fellow first years are determined to win the right to graduate. Fighting against the stigma of being a “bluestocking” - an “unnatural”, educated woman - they face economic difficulty, the distractions of love, cruelty of the class divide, strong opposition and painful choices. Blue Stockings is a moving, comical and eye-opening story of four brave young women fighting for education and self-determination.
