Chorlton Players - Blue Stockings

About

Set in 1897 at Girton College, Cambridge, Blue Stockings follows four pioneering young women as they fight for the right to graduate. Despite matching their male peers academically and intellectually, they face intense misogyny, being branded "blue stockings," unnatural and unmarriageable intellectuals.

The play explores women's right to education, against a backdrop of institutional and societal opposition, navigating societal exclusion and violent riots.
