== Early life ==
Jane Foss Barff was born on 24 October 1864 in Sydney, Australia. She was the daughter of Henry Chamberlain Russell, a government astronomer and meteorologist.〔 She spent much of her youth in the Sydney Observatory because of her father's occupation. She had a long lasting academic career which began in her school years; she passed the Junior Public Examination and received the Fairfax prize for the best female student in 1878. Three years later she sat for the Senior Public Examination in eight subjects, and passed with first class honours, again sharing the prize for the best female pupil.〔 After completing secondary college, she spent the next year at home because the university she wished to study at did not accept women. However, in 1881 when the University of Sydney was open to women she applied to study at the college. Although women were still unable to participate in courses such as medicine because the discussion of the human body was deemed not an appropriate topic.
