Oxbridge women's colleges in existence in the 1910s:

Girton (Cambridge)
Newnham (Cambridge)
Somerville (Oxford)
Lady Margaret Hall (Oxford)
St Hilda's (Oxford)
St Hugh's (Oxford)
Society for Home Student/St Anne's (Oxford)

(Also, science area at Oxford, and biology at Cambridge)

Other institutions admitting women in the 1910s:

LSE
Women's Hostel/St Mary's College, Uni of Durham
Kings College London
Imperial College London

Campaigns/groups/movements of the time:

Votes for Women/suffragettes - http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/history…

I should think Jack will get enough "unconventional" women from all that.

Stories by fandom (mainly Smallville and New Who-verse), then pairings or characters. Some spoilers listed for Torchwood and S3 of New Who; adult situations indicated.

Unfortunately, dialogue may not be laid out correctly in some of these.

I know this is terribly late notice, but someone has pulled out at the last minute, and I find myself with a spare ticket. It's for Priscilla Queen of the Desert, 2.30pm Sat March 2, New Theatre Oxford. £39.50. If you are free, and can get to Oxford in time, then please leave a comment or send me a message :)

Considering Nine Worlds http://nineworlds.co.uk/ Just looked at the Dragon Con schedule (that and SDCC are their models) and am now traumatised XD How do you even DO this kind of thing as an attendee ???

One of the official Oxford themed walking tours on Sat 6 April 2013 is Tolkien and CS Lewis - perfect opportunity for a LOTR fandom/HobbitLock mini meetup :) Plenty of free (as they're mostly all uni buildings) museums for after the tour, then we can get dinner :). If you'd like to come, go and buy yourself a ticket from the link below, then come back and tell me :)
