About Trinity Women Graduates
Established in 1922 as the Dublin University Women Graduates Association, at a time when women had to be off campus by 6pm and could not dine in the Dining Hall.
What began as a way for a small group of women to keep in touch with Trinity, and each other, has flourished into a vibrant inclusive community of women with a varied programme of events throughout the year.
Although the name has changed to Trinity Women Graduates, the aims remain the same as those set out by the pioneering Trinity Women Graduates of the 1920s. We continue to connect, support and inspire each other and future generations of Trinity Women Graduates.
All Changed
Women had to be off campus by 6.30pm, there were restrictions on women academics applying for fellowship, there was no maternity leave and in 1968 chaperones were appointed for the first for the first women scholars on campus.
These are some of memories recalled in this fascinating film looking back at life for women in Trinity college. 'All Changed' looks back on what life was like for women in college over the decades with women who lived and worked through it. The film also looks to the future and asks what still needs to change.
The senior women academics and former lecturers featured are Corinna Salvadori, Barbara Wright, Sara McMurry, Christine Meek, Ita Kirwan, Yvonne Scannell, Vivienne Darling and Jane Grimson. Louise Mulrennan Equality Officer with TCDSU also features.
Produced for WiSER Women in Science and Engineering Research by Angie Mezzetti of Ocarina Productions.
