The Spinning House (How Cambridge University locked up women in its private prison)

Cambridge University is renowned worldwide for its academic prowess, but below the surface lurks a murky past. During the nineteenth century it became infamous for its dogged determination to cling to ancient laws allowing them to arrest and imprison any women found walking the streets of Cambridge after dark. Mistakes were made. Violence and legal action followed until finally an Act of Parliament put on end to the jurisdiction of the university over the women of Cambridge.
