Jessica Swale's Blue Stockings, follows the journey of four women on their fight for women's right to graduate. We are in 1896 England, Girton College, Cambridge University. Women, able to attend college only to get the label of "Blue Stocking" rather than a University Graduate. We follow, Tess, Celia, Carolyn, and Maeve during their fight for rights, with some help from their reliable professor, Mr. Banks.
Mr. Banks is a fun loving, determined, and humble professor who always tries to have a smile on his face. While dealing with his own personal turmoil, he fights the bigger fight and assists the girls on their fight for graduation. He works closely with the girls and aids them leading up to the vote. He seeks help from other professors in the University. He is met with a life altering decision that can greatly impact the outcome of this vote. Does he put his career in jeopardy for the sake of the girls? Will all the slander and hate crimes being committed during their pursuit be too much?
