EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at Holloway College, showcasing the female students of the Royal Holloway College in Egham, Greater London circa 1887. The women are dressed in elegant and formal attire, exuding grace and intelligence as they stroll through the picturesque campus garden.
Originally established as a women-only college, Holloway College later became part of the prestigious University of London in 1900. It wasn't until 1945 that male students were admitted, marking a significant shift towards inclusivity and diversity within higher education.
The young women depicted in this image symbolize resilience and determination as they pursue their studies in an era when opportunities for women were limited. Their presence at Holloway College represents a pivotal moment in history when barriers were being broken down and progress was being made towards gender equality.
As we admire this historical photograph, we are reminded of the importance of education and empowerment for all individuals, regardless of gender. The legacy of these pioneering female students lives on today through the continued academic excellence of Royal Holloway University.
Let us celebrate the achievements of these trailblazing women who paved the way for future generations to thrive and succeed in academia.
