[1] Woodhead’s family had long belonged to the Society of Friends, so she was able to attend Ackworth School, a Quaker school that accepted daughters of Friends as well as their sons.
As the physical college had yet to be built, she attended courses set up by Girton founder Emily Davies at Benslow House, Hitchin.
[4] The three "honorary" (rather than actual) graduates became known as "Woodhead, Cook and Lumsden, the Girton Pioneers".
[5] Woodhead married architect Christopher Corbett, after which she ran her own school in Bolton.
Widowed in her fifties, she moved to Harrogate and died there in July, 1908, aged fifty-seven.
