In 1948, it was granted full college status by the university, marking the official admittance of women to the University of Cambridge.We find out about the Women behind the names – part of an extraordinary group of Girton College alumnae among an illustrious list of people to have roads in Eddington, Cambridge’s new urban area, named after them. Mistress of Girton College, Susan Smith, spoke to our contributor Phil Mynott at the college’s Swirles Court in Eddington about the legacies of these Cambridge pioneers and how they still continue to affect us.
