EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases Miss Wordsworth, the esteemed Principal of Lady Margaret Hall in Oxford. The image exudes an air of elegance and intelligence as she gazes confidently into the distance. Her poised demeanor reflects her role as a leader in education during a time when women's academic pursuits were still met with resistance. Lady Margaret Hall, known for its progressive stance on women's education, flourished under Miss Wordsworth's guidance. As one of the first women's colleges at Oxford University, it provided a space for female scholars to excel and challenge societal norms. The intricate details captured by the English School artist bring this historical figure to life. Every stroke seems to convey Miss Wordsworth's determination and passion for empowering young women through knowledge and learning. This enchanting print was originally featured in The Queen Almanac of 1890, further solidifying Miss Wordsworth's impact on society during her time. Preserved within a private collection, this artwork serves as a reminder of her significant contributions to academia and gender equality.
