EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a significant moment in history. The image showcases female undergraduates hard at work in the Girton Laboratory, located within Cambridge University. Founded in 1869, Girton College was groundbreaking as it became the first institution to offer higher education exclusively for women. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness these pioneering women inspecting scientific equipment with utmost concentration and dedication. Their faces reflect determination and curiosity as they examine a collection of objects that includes bottles and other laboratory apparatuses. This scene is not only a testament to their commitment to learning but also symbolizes their triumph over societal barriers that limited educational opportunities for women. The composition of the photograph beautifully captures both the vastness of the laboratory space and the meticulous attention given by each student. The landscape format allows us to appreciate not only their individual efforts but also highlights how they were part of a larger group working towards expanding knowledge in science and technology. Reinhold Thiele's masterful photography skills bring this historical moment alive once again, reminding us of the importance of equal access to education regardless of gender or background. This archival piece serves as an inspiring reminder of progress made while acknowledging how far we have come since then.
