Experimental dumbbell plots, restricted to women for whom we have at least one date, and for colleges with at least six students. If one of start/end is missing I’ve inferred it using a likely maximum attendance of 4 years (the majority of known durations are 1-4 years): these are highlighted in orange.

A few women attended the same college on more than one separate occasion and in these cases each attendance is shown on a separate bar.

Updates

  • added point in time/latest date dates
  • added colleges which (following the addition of new data) have now reached the six student threshold
  • improved display
  • UCL “cohorts” by subject/teacher

I’ve kept this even though it’s a bit absurd…

To view this at full size (so it’s easier to read the names!), right-click [or tap with two fingers] on the image and select “open image in new tab” (or something similar) in the menu.

we haven’t put end dates on UCL students who weren’t getting degrees (as far as I know) - this is because there are quite a few women who attended over a period of 5-10 years maybe with breaks in between [AT]
