It says in the article that, "Beard attended an all-female direct grant school"

Which all-female direct grant school? Beard commented that she was not keen on the boys from Shrewsbury School, when interviewed on Radio4's Desert Island Discs. Why Shrewsbury School? Was it nearby? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.187.233.172 (talk) 11:46, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article has since been edited to include details. Span (talk) 01:58, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dates overlap

It says she remained in Cambridge till 1982. Then says she was in London from 1979. I guess she graduated in 1976, spend 3 yrs in Cambridge studying for her PhD then 3 years working in London while writing it up in her spare time. Please clarify. 31.185.241.136 (talk) 11:35, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
