Quick response from the DNB; they are convinced. The previously unknown author of *Woman's Mission* (1839), key text of Victorian 'separate spheres' ideologies, was Sarah Lewis (1807-1878), who conducted a high class boarding school for girls in Putney, apparently from the later 1830s to the 1860s.

HEPI estimates that if 6% international student levy goes forward, it will cost UCL £42 million per annum, University of Manchester £27 million and KCL £22 million. Great way to support the sector in a crisis (45.2% of HEIs now forecasting a deficit). Not.
