00:00This is Cambridge University. For decades, women could study here and pass the same exams as men,
00:07but they couldn't earn Cambridge degrees. Then everything changed. In 1948, women were finally
00:15granted full degree status. Around this period, Queen Elizabeth was awarded a substantive degree
00:22by Cambridge, and she became the first woman to have full membership of the university.
00:27It was only after India's independence that Cambridge started granting full degrees
00:36to women, right? Yes, yes, that's true. My college, it is Lucy Cavendish College,
00:45and it was started by a woman, like she fought for higher education for women. And it was an all
00:51-woman
00:51college, like take two weeks. Yes, in little days, one. And then it became back to me.
