Girton College is one of the 31 constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge. It was England’s first residential college for women established in 1869 by Emily Davies Barbara Bodichon and Lady Stanley of Alderley. The full college status was only received in 1948 and marked the official admittance of women to the university. In 1976 it was Cambridge’s first women’s college to become coeducational.
