Bluestockings by Jane Robinson

In 1869, when five women enrolled at university for the first time in British history, the average female brain was thought to be 150 grams lighter than a man's. This title tells their story - a story of defiance and determination, of colourful eccentricity and loneliness, as well as of friendships, midnight cocoa-parties and self-discovery.
