Selections from a walking performance filmed in November 2018. Between 1883-1919 all intending female students at University College had to present a reference, in person, acceptable to the Lady Superintendent of Women Students – a process known as ‘passing in’. Kate Vigurs, a professional historical interpreter, takes on the role of Miss Rosa Morison, the first Lady Superintendent (1883-1912). In the film Rosa talks about her life and gives the audience a short tour of some of the spaces and places open to women at UCL before the First World War. The performance was inspired by archival sources in UCL Special Collections and was researched and written by Georgina Brewis (UCL Institute of Education), Nina Pearlman (UCL Culture) and Kate Vigurs.
