NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS The Higher Education Of Women This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a fresh and newly reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.

Autorenporträt
Sarah Emily Davies was an English woman who created Girton College in Cambridge. She advocated for suffrage and women's access to higher education. In her youth, she attended National Association for the Promotion of Social Science meetings and became friends with Barbara Bodichon and Elizabeth Garrett Anderson. After relocating to London with her mother in 1862, she worked for and edited the English Woman's Journal before joining the Langham Place Group. She co-founded the London Schoolmistresses' Association and the Kensington Society, both of which advocated for universal suffrage, despite her personal belief that only unmarried women and widows should have the right to vote. After leaving Girton in 1904, Davies served as secretary of the National Society for Women's Suffrage's London section before joining the Conservative and Unionist Women's Franchise Association. She died in London at the age of 91. Davies' rigorous ideas on education were contentious during her lifetime, but historians have increasingly seen her achievements with more sympathy. To commemorate Girton College's 150th anniversary, Baroness Hale dedicated a blue plaque in 2019 honoring founders Emily Davies and Barbara Bodichon.
