(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Mildred Katherine Pope was an English scholar of Anglo-Norman England. She became the first woman to hold a readership at Oxford University, where she taught at Somerville College. Biography Mildred Pope was educated at Edgbaston High School, Birmingham. She read French at Somerville College, Oxford, and in 1893 was placed in the first-class of the Oxford University women's examination. Interested in Old French philology, as an undergraduate "she had to rely mainly on tuition by correspondence from Paget Toynbee at Cambridge". She taught at Somerville College, Oxford, first as a librarian, and from 1894 as a lecturer. She spent the 1894 summer vacation studying with Fritz Neumann at Heidelberg. In that year she was one of the seven founding members of the Associated Prigs. This was the unofficial name of the discussion group that met on Sundays evenings. They never agreed a name or leader but the group would keep notes and the links established were valuable after they left Somerville. Other founder members included Eleanor Rathbone and Edith Marvin.
