Girton College, Cambridge is the world's oldest University College originally for women. This image, taken at the time just for its purely photographic qualities, symbolises the choice for a young woman in 1960: take my newly-minted degree and go out into the 'world', or stay in College and become a great polymath, probably never to be married. The view is from under the arch through the wrought-iron gate from Woodlands Court and towards the Huntingdon Road.
