The University of Cape Town marks a major milestone in its history: 125 years of women on campus in 2011/12.
Women first registered as students in 1886/7. They were four students of the Good Hope Seminary who signed up for Professor PD Hahn's chemistry class at the South African College, in which UCT has its roots. We look at some of the women pioneers in UCT's history. Also, as part of its celebrations, the university joined in the national Take a Girl Child to Work Day (TGCWD) initiative and hosted 30 grade-10 girl learners from the Centre of Science & Technology (COSAT) school in Khayelitsha on 8 August.
