Margaret Alford : ウィキペディア英語版 | Margaret Alford Margaret Alford was a pioneering woman classicist who achieved a First at Cambridge University in 1887, a time when women were not formally awarded degrees. She spent more than two decades teaching at schools and universities, while publishing and editing many books. She specialised in Latin prose, particularly the works of Livy, Tacitus and Cicero, an area almost entirely dominated by male scholars.〔R. Mayer ''Margaret Alford: The Unknown Pioneer'', in Rosie Wyles and Edith Hall (eds), ''Unsealing the Fountain: Pioneering Female Philologists from the Renaissance to the Twentieth Century'' 2014, OUP〕 ==Education== Margaret Alford was taught ancient Greek from an early age by her father, Bradley Hurt Alford, a Church of England clergyman.〔 She attended Maida Vale High School, a girls' day school in London. She spent two terms at Bedford College, London as a Trustees Scholar, before transferring to Girton College, Cambridge, where she graduated with a First in 1887 (although women were not awarded degrees from Cambridge at that time). Here JP Postgate, the well-known supporter of women in higher education, supervised her Latin prose composition. Her older sister, Dorothy (later Banks) studied Natural Sciences at the same college.〔http://janus.lib.cam.ac.uk/db/node.xsp?id=EAD%2FGBR%2F0271%2FGCPP%20Banks〕 Punch magazine noted, and satirised, the success of women in Classics at Cambridge at the time, and of the two women's colleges Girton and Newnham;〔Patricia Marks, ''Bicycles, Bangs and Bloomers: The New Woman in the Popular Press'', Women's Education, p110〕 Alford was mentioned as 'a Classical First' in a verse called ''The Ladies' Year'' 〔''Punch'' 8 June 1890〕
