Synopsis
Excerpt from Superseded
The school was filing out along the main corridor Of St. Sidwell's. It came with a tramp and a rustle and a hiss and a tramp, urged to a trot by the excited teachers. The First Division first, half-woman, carrying it self smoothly, with a swish Of its long Skirts, with a blush, a dreamy intellectual smile, or a steadfast impenetrable air, as it happened to be more or less conscious Of the presence Of the Head. Then the Second Division, light - hearted, irrepressible, making a noise with its feet, loose hair flapping, pig-tails flopping to the beat Of its march. Then the straggling, diminishing lines of the Third, afroth of white pinafores, a confusion Of legs, black or tan, staggering, shifting, shuffling in a frantic effort to keep time.
On it came in a waving stream; a stream that flickered with innumerable eyes, a stream that rippled with the wind Of its own flowing, that flushed and paled and bright ened as some flower-face was tossed up wards, or some crest, flame-coloured or golden, flung back the light. A stream that was one in its rhythm and in the sex that was its soul, Obscurely or luminously feminine; it might have been a Single living thing that throbbed and undulated, as girl after girl gave out the radiance and pulsation Of her youth. The effect was overpowering; your senses judged St. Sidwell's by these brilliant: types that gave life and colour to the stream. The rest were nowhere.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1907, remains a critical exploration of women's education within the broader context of societal change. The author, a pioneer of women's higher education, deftly analyzes the challenges faced by women in academia at the turn of the 20th century. The narrative follows Miss Quincey, a dedicated yet unremarkable arithmetic teacher, whose life is transformed by an encounter with an inspiring new headmistress. As Miss Quincey navigates the complexities of a rapidly evolving educational landscape, she grapples with themes of ambition, self-discovery, and the transformative power of education. The author's insights into the struggle for equality in education, and the empowerment of women through knowledge, continue to resonate a century later. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
