First Among Equals

Synopsis
The history faculty of the University of Cambridge looked into why so few women received first-class degrees compared with men. Embarrassed by the poor achievements of its female students in 1993, the university set out to discover whether the problem lay with the women themselves or with examiners conditioned by a traditionally masculine approach to history.
