November Emily ShireG, John
Oliver Hobbies.

1t was due to the work of Emily
Shirreff more than to that of anyone
else that a decided change in public opin-
ion regarding the higher education Of
women took place during the last quar-
ter Of the nineteenth century. Emily
Anne Eliza Shirreff and her sister, Ma
ria. were daughters Of high-class Eng
lish family and in their early girlhood
they were impressed with the fact that
while every effort was made to give
the boys Of English families educational
advantages practically nothing was done
by way of educating the daughters. In
spite of these handicaps the Shirref sis
ters secured an adequate education for
themselves, became thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with several modern languages. and
secured a rather remarkable knowledge
of history.
Thus equipped Miss Shirriff assumed
the task of securing for other English
women the educational advantages she
had gained for herself. For several
years her father occupied a government
position in Gibraltar and during that
period Miss Shirren and her sister
wrote their first book. Passion and Prin-
ciple." In 1850 Miss Shirren brought out
her first independent book, Thoughts
on Self Culture" This two-volume book
was widely read and its efforts to show
women the value of self-edueation had
a widespread influence.
In the agitation for the establishment
OF Girton College. the women's depart
ment of oxford University, Miss Shir-
ref was very active, and when that
college was FIRST opened she served as
honorary mistress. Soon after this she
was active in originating the National
Union for ImproyinE the Education Of
Women, an orGanization q which the
Princess Louis waa rrezidept. This or
ganization had as lfs aim the training
