Dame Emily Penrose, DBE (18 September 1858 – 26 January 1942) was an ancient historian and Principal of three early women's university colleges in the UK: Bedford College from 1893 until 1897, Royal Holloway College from 1898 until 1907, and Somerville College, Oxford University from 1907 until 1926. She was the first woman to gain a First Class degree in Classics at the University of Oxford, and was instrumental in securing the admission of women as full members of the university in 1920.
