Description:... Few topics have produced more heroines than the struggle of women for their right to education. Amongst the pioneers of third-level education for women in the north of Ireland were Eliza and Isabella Riddel. Never themselves having had the opportunity of university education, in 1913 they founded Riddel Hall for women students.
