Ruth Lewis.

'One of the second generation of women students at Newnham College, Cambridge. The University refused to grant degrees to women, although they could attend lectures & take examinations. Finally Trinity College, Dublin, in need of funds, granted MA degrees to women who had passed the necessary exams'.

Dublin,

'Dublin, c.1908? When R[uth] L[ewis] graduated c.1894 at Newnham College, Cambridge refused to recognize the degrees of women. So Trinity College, in need of funds, offered, for a consideration (£20, I think) to give them degrees. Thus she became MA, Dublin. She was treated with great honour, since John Herbert Lewis was a Whip - i.e. a "Lord of the Treasury", & they thought he might be able to get a grant for the College'.
