This talk will explore women’s fight for equality at Oxford, from the establishment of the first colleges in the 1880s, to 1920 when women were finally accepted as fully fledged members of the university. 

In writing her novel, The Eights, writer and poet Joanna Miller gained some fascinating insights into the lives of the first women at Oxford, and the role that suffrage and World War One played in changing male attitudes. From overbearing chaperones, to climbing in windows and finding loopholes to beat the men at rowing, the lives of the first women at Oxford were certainly never dull!
