I found These Old Shades and its to the manor born attitudes really quite annoying last time I read it.

There is, however, an entirely true story about a C19th young woman in Spain who had to wear masculine attire in order to study law - and then married a man she had met during her studies. Enquiring minds wish to know more, and wonder why no-one has written the novel? (possibly because woman in question became distinguished pioneer of Spanish feminism, and respected philanthropist and social activist, with lots of statues and memorials to her).
