The Sybil Campbell Library Collection and the Centre for the History of Women’s Education at the University of Winchester will be holding a symposium on Winchester, Women, and Education on 18th September 2019 from 2.30 to 4.30 at Hampshire Records and Archives Centre, Sussex Street, Winchester, SO23 8TH. A range of speakers will give short talks in order to stimulate discussion on the role of women in education, both in Winchester and the wider world. We hope that this symposium will lead to further activity in highlighting the significance of women in education in Winchester and beyond who have been marginal to the historical record. All are welcome. There is no charge but please indicate your intention to attend to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Currently proposed topics for talks include: individual women’s stories, including Sybil Campbell and Charlotte Yonge, women at King Alfred’s College, The Miss Whytes’ School in Winchester and St Swithun’s girls’ school. Full and detailed programme will be posted on the Centre for the History of Women’s Education web page at the University of Winchester.
