Annie Mary Anne Henley Rogers (15 February 1856 – 28 October 1937)[1] was a British promoter of women's education.
Her work as a home tutor for women students led to her being recognised as a founder of St Anne's College, Oxford.
Rogers came top in the Oxford school examinations in 1873 and was automatically qualified for an exhibition at Balliol or Worcester College.
[2] Rogers was able to sit examinations for women at roughly undergraduate level[6] in 1877 and 1879, giving her the equivalent of first-class marks in Latin and Greek and in Ancient History respectively.
"[4]: 53 She is also credited with overseeing the end of the ascendancy of the AEW over the women's colleges, which gained in independence as a result.
The paper inspired Clara Mordan who in time would fund the new buildings of St Hugh's College, Oxford.
[10] She was a talented tutor to the women who were studying Classics at home and she is acknowledged as one of the founders of St Anne's College.
