"She was the second woman in England to earn a Bachelor of Music, in 1895. A very definite statement, but who was the first? The AI bots either don't know or suggest alternatives that are clearly later or not English Sfjohna (talk) 15:05, 18 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

The answer (might) be Elizabeth Annie Nunn (1861-94), University of London 1888, Music. Bac. She didn't live long enough to establish a reputation. Sfjohna (talk) 18:48, 18 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
