Women
The involvement of women in rags drew considerable comment during the 1920s. Under a headline "Women and those 'Rags'", a The Star reporter claimed in 1929 that most women students were disdainful of the activities. Miss Paul, a tutor to women students at King's, insisted portentously that "displays of boisterousness were really exclusively men's affairs". However, women clearly played a central role in 1920s rags, including the raid on University College in 1927.

Famous quotes containing the word women:
“A woman asking “Am I good? Am I satisfied?” is extremely selfish. The less women fuss about themselves, the less they talk to other women, the more they try to please their husbands, the happier the marriage is going to be.”
—Barbara Cartland (b. 1901)
“Women are considered deep—why? Because one can never discover any bottom to them. Women are not even shallow.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I think it’s a question which particularly arises over women writers: whether it’s better to have a happy life or a good supply of tragic plots.”
—Wendy Cope (b. 1945)
