Blue Stockings by Jessica Swale
Thought-provoking Drama
In 1896, at Cambridge University’s Girton College, Tess Moffatt and her fellow first years are determined to win the right to graduate. Fighting against the stigma of being a “bluestocking” - an “unnatural”, educated woman - they face economic difficulty, the distractions of love, cruelty of the class divide, strong opposition and painful choices. Blue Stockings is a moving, comical and eye-opening story of four brave young women fighting for education and self-determination.
