HAYA’s Plays on Saturdays: ‘Blue Stockings’

'Blue Stockings' by Jessica Swale is a play set in 1896. It follows the the UK's first Female Undergraduates in their battle for the right to graduate. Although being equally academically strong as their fellow male peers, they are rejected and stigmatized as unmarriageable and unqualified of ever having a career. Despite this, the Blue Stockings kept fighting and followed their dreams to have the right to education, graduation and a career.
