""The Conflict of Duties and Other Essays"" is a collection of essays by Alice Gardner, a British historian and scholar of medieval literature. The book explores the ethical dilemmas faced by individuals when their duties and responsibilities come into conflict with each other. Gardner examines various historical and literary examples, ranging from the ancient Greeks to the medieval period, to illustrate the complexity of these conflicts and the different ways in which they have been resolved. The essays also touch on broader philosophical themes, such as the nature of morality and the role of reason in ethical decision-making. Written in a clear and accessible style, ""The Conflict of Duties and Other Essays"" offers a thought-provoking exploration of a timeless and universal human problem.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This history was published in 1921 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of Newnham College, Cambridge. The mid-nineteenth-century idea of female education led to the small beginning of what became Newnham in 1871. Gardner then takes the story up to 1914 (with an epilogue on the war years).
