Wellesley College, in the town of Wellesley about twelve miles west of Boston, opened in 1875 as a women's college founded by the lawyer Henry Fowle Durant and his wife, Pauline. In the late nineteenth century its campus sat beside Lake Waban, and the Boston and Albany rail line that ran through the town brought students and visitors from the city. The college drew young women from across the country and offered a demanding course of study that was unusual for women's education at the time. A library interior with a woman seated at the desk shows how central books and the staff who managed them were to a school built on the idea that women could pursue serious scholarship.
