[[File:Lucy cavendish college library with marshall house in the background.JPG|thumb|right|300px|The gardens and library of Lucy Cavendish College]] '''Lucy Cavendish College''' is one of the colleges of the [[University of Cambridge]], [[England]]. It was created in 1956. It only has students which are both women and over 21. This can include [[postgraduate]]s and [[undergraduate]]s who are older than usual. It was built by women within the university who thought that women were not treated fairly in Cambridge. At the time in fact most colleges were still for men only. The name comes from [[Lucy Cavendish]] (1841-1925), who was very important in making reforms to give more education to women. Lucy Cavendish is quite a small college with about 350 total students. Some famous people have been given honorary fellowships from the college, which is a title to show that they have done something important for the role of women. For example, [[Judi Dench]] and [[Margrethe II of Denmark]] were given this title. == Other websites == *[http://www.lucy-cav.cam.ac.uk/ Official website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080325062217/http://www.lucy-cav.cam.ac.uk/ |date=2008-03-25 }} {{University of Cambridge}} {{UK-stub}} [[Category:Colleges of the University of Cambridge]] [[Category:1956 establishments in Europe]] [[Category:1950s establishments in England]]
