Overview

On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll hear stories about the women who fought for educational equality, made groundbreaking scientific discoveries, shaped the arts, and changed politics at Cambridge University. Hear the stories of women became pioneers in their fields, campaigners for reform, and leaders of the world. The tour starts where Cambridge University was founded in 1209, at Great St Mary’s Church. Pass the Old Cavendish Laboratory and learn about Dorothy Hodgkin – Britain’s first female Nobel Prize winner in science. Walk along the river Cam and past buildings where women created their own societies of learning while being excluded from the university. The tour concludes at Senate House, where the final battles for women’s equal education were fought and won. By the end of this 90-minute tour, you’ll have heard the untold stories of Cambridge’s women, and discovered how they continue to inspire change in the ongoing fight for full equality at the university – and beyond.
