Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SHIRREFF, EMILY ANNE ELIZA (1814-1897) , English
pioneer
  in the higher education for women, was born on the 3rd of November 1814, the daughter of a rear-
admiral
 . Both she and her
sister
  Maria (Mrs William Grey) took a keen
interest
  in bettering women's equipment for educational
work
 , and, in 1858, she published Intellectual Education and its Influence on the Character and Happiness of Women. Before that the sisters had written in collaboration a novel, Passion and Principle (1841), marked with that serious sense of the deficiencies in women's education, to remedy which they did so much, and Thoughts on Self-Culture addressed to Women (185o). In 1869 Emily Shirreff was for a short time honorary mistress of Girton College, and she served for many years on the council of that institution and of the Girls' Public Day School Company. She took a leading part in establishing and developing the Maria Grey Training College for teachers and in the
work
  of the Froebel Society, of which she was the president. She was a firm believer in Froebel's
system
  and wrote a short memoir of him, and several books on
kindergarten
  methods. She died in London on the loth of
March
  1897.
