Blue Stockings (play)

Blue Stockings is the first full-length play by Jessica Swale. It is set at Girton College, Cambridge in 1896 and centres on the struggle of Cambridge's first women students to be allowed to graduate. Its title refers to bluestockings, a derogatory term for female intellectuals.

Developed during 2012 at the National Theatre Studio[1] and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts,[2][3] its first full production was planned for Shakespeare's Globe from 24 August to 11 October 2013.[4][5]
