A “Manly Study”?Women Historians at Trinity College, 1922–1949

Abstract

[Several women taught in the Trinity College history department between 1922 and 1949. Constantia Maxwell, Olive Armstrong, and Jocelyn Otway-Ruthven, who had the longest teaching careers, were all Irish Protestants and unionists, as well as Trinity College graduates.1 With the exception of Maxwell, an eighteenth-century specialist, all were medievalists. Constantia Maxwell’s academic career will be given the fullest consideration, as she was the most prolific writer, and because she taught at Trinity during the entire period between 1922 and 1949. The distinguished academic career of Jocelyn Otway-Ruthven lies beyond the scope of this chapter, as most of the important milestones in her career as a writer and academic took place during the 1950s through the 1970s. In addition, her experience in the profession was fundamentally different from the other women historians under consideration.]
