description: The Origins and History of Queen Margaret College, Edinburgh 1875 to 1994. Tom Beggs records the background of the establishment, in 1875, of the original Edinburgh School of Cookery and gives an appreciation of the early founders. Even readers with no connection to the College will be fascinated by the account which the book provides of the 19th century struggle to secure decent post-school education for women, and the leading part played by Edinburgh women in that conflict.
