      abstract = {A wonderful case and perfect for a microhistorical  approach. Pauline A. Phipps deals with an important story  of an unknown educational pioneer Constance Louisa Maynard  who had a wide range of expertise that shaped her focus in  life, both professional and personal. Phipps has great  source material to work with, and she brings to light  important issues through her research that speak to modern  readers; race, patriotism, scientific conduct, and so on.  Sigurur Gylfi Magnusson, University of Iceland, Iceland  This book examines the relatively unknown English  late-Victorian educational pioneer, Constance Louisa  Maynard (1849-1935), whose innovative London-based  Westfield College produced the first female BAs in the  mid-1880s. An atypical and powerful woman, Maynard is also  notable for her unique knowledge of psychology and  patriotic Evangelicalism, both of which profoundly shaped  her ambitions and passions. In contrast to most history  about an individuals life, this book builds a fascinating  life story based upon evidence and clues from minutia. The  focus is on nine enigmatic actions motivated by Maynard in  her quests for educational leadership, global conversion,  and same-sex love. Maynards acts that she called  "mistakes," caused deep enmities with administrators and  college women. Yet amid her trials and conflicts Maynard  made key decisions about her public and private life.  Moreover, her so-called mistakes reveal astonishing new  insights into a past mindset and the rapidly changing world  in which Maynard lived. Pauline A. Phipps is retired from  teaching in History and Womens and Gender Studies at the  University of Windsor, Canada. Author of Constance Maynards  Passions: Religion, Sexuality, and an English Educational  Pioneer 1849-1935 (2015), Phipps has also published in  journals such as The History of Sexuality and Womens  History Review.},
