Trinity College has installed a series of sculptures in its Old Library to honour the scholarship of four trailblazing women.

The women represented are the scientist Rosalind Franklin, the folklorist, dramatist and Abbey Theatre-founder Augusta Gregory, the mathematician Ada Lovelace, and pioneering women’s rights advocate Mary Wollstonecraft.
