The college changed its name to ‘Bedford College’; again – in 1874 the name was used until, in 1909, the College became “officially recognized as the ‘Bedford College for Women’ – but the history of the this early institution that bettered the education of women in London has not changed.
Elizabeth Jesser Reid founded the College in 1849 using the private income her late husband left her.
Reid’s death in 1866, her trustees helped the institution that was struggling both financially and academically by ‘insist[ing] upon a new constitution.’ Now falling under the category of an “Association under the Board of Trade” the Ladies College in Bedford Square finally began the pull ahead.

Still, she deepened her involvement in the "woman question," researching and writing Sisters of Charity which, when it was refused by the Edinburgh Review, she gave as a lecture at the home of her longtime friend, Elizabeth Jesser Reid, before it was published in book form.
Elizabeth Jesser Reid, a Unitarian active in the Anti-Slavery movement and the founder of Bedford College, was a friend of both Lady Byron and Harriet Martineau and a friend and neighbour of Henry Crabbe Robinson who Jameson may well have known through her husband.
It was likely on the strength of her friendship with Mitford that Jameson dared to insist on meeting Elizabeth Barrett.

 Anna Brownell Jameson Critical Essay   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Elizabeth Bennet, Jane Austen's favourite heroine, rarely displays any of her mother’s sensibility, and it is instead her lively wit, her individuality and frankness that endear her to readers.
In this speech Jameson addressed what she hoped might be a ‘wiser future’; she stated her belief that middle-class women had the right to work for society outside the domestic sphere, and that the creation of new jobs for these women when they were not needed at home was a positive thing.
She felt that there should be a shared ethic of work and that it was the duty of men and women to contribute directly to the larger social good.

Several union-like institutions for women were established, such as the Governesses’ Benevolent Institution (1848) “to provide assistance to ladies connected with the teaching profession” (Charities Direct) and the Association for the Aid of Milliners and Dressmakers (1843).
In 1848, a group of tutors at King’s College, London established Queen’s College, London for women interested in the teaching profession (Spartacus Educational) and in 1849 Elizabeth Jesser Reid, a social reformer, founded Bedford College for Women (Royal Holloway).

She was the first white woman to make the arduous trip around Lake Huron, the "rambles" of her book's title.
Later, Jameson was one of the circle around Elizabeth Jesser Reid, the founder of Bedford College (1849), the first college for women run by women, and towards the end of her life she was instrumental in the founding and development of the Englishwoman's Journal (1858), widely acknowledged as the first feminist periodical in Britain.
Jameson's complete correspondence has never been published although excerpts and entire letters appear in the three biographies[1] about her, some letters can be found in other published correspondences, and her letters to Ottilie von Goethe edited by G.H. Needler were published in 1939.
