The Wonderful Women of Morley
Throughout March, we’ve been celebrating the ‘wonderful women of Morley’, charting a course all the way from founder Emma Cons – whose social mission still inspires us today, and whose birthday falls in the month of March – to the staff and students at the centre of our community in 2023.
Featured amongst a stellar cast of female stars is Virginia Woolf (known then as Virginia Stephen), who taught history of art, history, English composition and poetry appreciation classes once a week for three years at Morley.
And writers of the future have been in the spotlight too – including the female winners of the 2021 and 2022 Morley Prize for Unpublished Writers of Colour.
