Shirreff, Emily Anne Eliza (1814–1897)

English pioneer of women's education. Largely self-educated herself, she founded the National Union for the Higher Education of Women in 1871. She was mistress of Girton College, Cambridge (1870–97), and published works on kindergartens and the Froebel system (founded by the German educationist Friedrich Froebel).
