Edith Morley was the first woman professor in Britain in 1908. Yet more than a century later, says Dr Victoria Leonard, women still have a visibility problem in UK higher education.

We Mark Your Memory: writings from the descendants of indenture
Edited by David Dabydeen, Maria del Pilar Kaladeen, and Tina K. Ramnarin
To mark the centenary of the abolition of the system in the British Empire (2017–20) this volume brings together, for the first time, new writing from across the Commonwealth. It is a unique attempt to explore, through the medium of poetry and prose, the indentured heritage of the twenty-first century.
