Breaking Barriers - St Hildas College, Oxford University Makes History on ITV's University Challenge
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from November 1965, we witness a groundbreaking moment as four remarkable women from St Hildas College, Oxford University become the first all-female team to conquer three rounds on the popular game show, University Challenge. Their impressive feat has earned them a well-deserved spot in the upcoming finals next spring. Seated proudly from left to right are Julia Gold, a talented Third Year English student hailing from London; Gilly Evans, an astute History student representing Walton on Thames; Susan Fairhead, the formidable Captain of the team and Fourth Year Student of Research Biochemistry from Solihull in Warwickshire; and Heather Spooner, an intellectual powerhouse studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics at just 19 years old. This photograph captures their joyous expressions as they bask in their triumphant achievement. The camaraderie among these exceptional young women is palpable as they sit together on a bench. Their victory not only showcases their intellect but also challenges societal norms by proving that women can excel in traditionally male-dominated arenas. Arthur Sidey's Memory Lane Prints immortalizes this historic moment when these trailblazing students shattered glass ceilings with grace and intelligence. This image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in promoting gender equality while inspiring future generations to pursue their dreams fearlessly.
