Thought a genealogist might know about women graduating...

She may not have been awarded a degree if this in the 1920s. Cambridge didn’t award degrees to women until 1948.

I have a great aunt who graduated from University College, London in 1926.

She probably did graduate. Universities began offering degrees to women in the 1880s. There was a huge increase in the number of women attending university 1914-1918 because young men were fighting in the war.
Universities have great archives and can often trace individual students so it might be worth contacting Manchester.
This is info about women attending there archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/search/archives/44b662d7-055f-386d-b67e-0220e223c72d
Good luck hope you find out more.

I don't know about English and French, but Dr Catherine Chisholm graduated from Manchester Medical School in 1904.

If you look at a BA French at Manchester on their website, it reads:
With a strong heritage dating back to 1896, French Studies at Manchester is the oldest in the UK.

I would definitely contact the University - they will have records.

Different universities granted graduation status to women at different times.
The other confounding factor is that for some time, only Oxford, Cambridge & London could award degrees (to anyone!) so some of the Universities used London exams.
I know this because the Honours Board at school (all girls) had only London for many years, then Oxford, then Cambridge and other Universities, and we were told about the complicated history of awarding degrees.
Some of our teachers who were at university in the 20s/30s were at other Universities, but London awarded their degrees.
I think (not certain that London & Manchester treated women equally from their inception, but would be interested to hear.

My university in London, founded 1849, was women only.

Thanks all, for these . I will pass on the links to my sister - who asked the question - and have a look myself!

Coincidentally I’ve just been reading ‘Bluestockings’ by Jane Robinson (today on offer as a kindle download). Fascinating history of access to degrees for women.

Dh's grandmother graduated from Heidelberg around 1918

Another place to search is in newspaper archives. Local newspapers often printed the names of graduates.
