General Examination for Women
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The General Examination for Women was an examination of the University of London first held in May 1869 that enabled women to receive a Certificate of Proficiency from the university but not a degree. It was a precursor to the award of degrees to women by the university which did not happen until a decade later. The first nine candidates to take the exam are sometimes known as "the London Nine".
