This isn't an answer to the question posed, but may be of interest. Mary 
(Paley) Marshall taught economics in Bristol in the late 1870s, though I 
don't know whether she had any formal status and Bristol was then a 
university college rather than an independent degree-awarding university. 
This may make her the first woman to teach economics at university level in 
Britain. (Does it?) One of the two buildings housing the economics 
department here (Bristol) is now named after her, the Mary Paley Building - 
the other, of course, is named after her husband, the Alfred Marshall 
Building.
