History

Lady Margaret Hall, the first women's college in Oxford, was founded in 1878 by Elizabeth Wordsworth, a great-niece of the poet William Wordsworth. Founded in a large house in the north of the city of Oxford, it started with nine students, who had to be Anglicans. Somerville College was founded in the following year with twelve students, as a non-sectarian alternative. In 1979, along with most of the other women's colleges, it decided to admit men as well as women.
