What She Did With What She Had
Elizabeth Jesser Reid (Lizzie) risks her reputation and all her money as she determines to start a college of Higher Education for Women in 1850. A professor has been invited to lecture to female students at the fledgling college. Though he is lecturing about physics, the professor is known to believe 'you can be good without believing in God'. Appalled at the potential damage to delicate female minds, the might of Victorian Society throws all it can at Lizzie and her colleagues to bring an end to women's education. A true story!
