This paper examines the policies and practices of Newnham College, one of the oldest women’s colleges at the University of Cambridge. Newnham and the other women’s colleges—Murray Edwards and Lucy Cavendish—have made various efforts to redress persisting gender inequality. Considering that many women continue to be treated unfairly and that there is a need for a college that focuses specifically on women’s learning, these colleges provide their students with academic, pastoral, and financial support. In addition, their alumnae guide current students in finding work and choosing a career. Newnham College also propagates gender equality via its homepage. It presents accounts of the projects carried out on International Women’s Day. For example, to mark Women’s Day in 2017, it held a Wikipedia edit-a-thon to make the Internet less sexist by creating profiles of eminent women. Furthermore, it founded the Woolf Essay Prize, which is open to girls aged 12 in UK schools and designed to give them the opportunity to think about gender equality. In 2011, it established a Literary Archive, collecting rare books, letters, drafts of published work, memoirs, and photographs to inspire students to write. Through such initiatives, Newnham College continues to provide students with an academic, active, and stimulating environment, and supports them in multiple ways. It has thus produced independent women, having helped them to prepare for work and life.
