EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a historic moment at Newnham College, Cambridge in 1894. The image showcases the triumphant scene of "Chairing the Lady Wrangler" featuring Miss A M J E Johnson, an exceptional female mathematician who achieved remarkable success in her academic pursuits. The atmosphere is electric as men and women alike gather to celebrate this groundbreaking achievement. Cheers fill the air as Miss Johnson is hoisted high on a chair, symbolizing her victory over the male-dominated field of mathematics. This engraving beautifully depicts the progress made by women in academia during this time period. Newnham College stands proudly in the background, representing a place where intellectual boundaries were being shattered and new opportunities for women were emerging. The mathematical tripos, traditionally dominated by men, was conquered by Miss Johnson's brilliance and determination. The artist Arthur Hopkins skillfully captures the essence of this significant event with intricate detail and precision. Through his work, we are transported back to a time when gender barriers were being challenged and broken down. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality within academia while also highlighting that there is still work to be done. It celebrates not only one woman's success but also represents countless others who fought against societal norms to pursue their passions and make their mark on history.
