About this title

Synopsis

St. Stephen's Girls' College is one of the many schools run under the auspices of the Anglican Church in Hong Kong. As one of the earliest schools for girls in the territory, St. Stephen's played a significant role in the opening up of educational opportunities for Chinese girls.

This book records the history and development of the school and is written for its 90th Anniversary, using much original source material. The author, who was head of the school for over thirty years, has set this history within the educational, social and political context of the times.

About the Author

Kathleen E. Barker was appointed Principal of St. Stephen's College in 1961, and was to continue to head the school for almost thirty-one years. She is now in retirement in Cambridge, England.
