The Women are Up to Something: How Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley, and Iris Murdoch Revolutionized Ethics (Benjamin Lipscomb, 2021)
"The prestige long associated with an Oxbridge education was compounded at Oxford because they now granted degrees to women, while Cambridge still did not.
Oxford changed its policy in 1920, the same year British women received the right to vote.
Cambridge did not follow suit until 1948. It made Oxford a particularly attractive destination for women.
Not that Oxford’s policy of granting degrees to women was uncontroversial.
In 1927, fretting that the University was acquiring a reputation as “socialistic, weak in athletics, and be-womaned,” the ancient house of Congregation (Oxford’s chief administrative gathering) capped the number of women undergraduates at 840 (out of a total population of over 4,000).
It stipulated further that, although the overall quota could rise if any new women’s societies were founded, the ratio of men to women could not fall below four to one.
A quota remained in force until the late 1950s.
So an English schoolgirl in the late 1930s seeking an elite degree was competing with candidates from across the empire for one of about 250 places a year."

Yet in February 1536, another character was thought important enough for Chapuys to mention her in his dispatches—Jane Seymour. An Elizabethan writer, George Wyatt, believed that Jane Seymour used Anne Boleyn's pregnancy to displace her in Henry's affections: 'she waxing great again and not so fit for dalliance, the time was taken to steal the king's affection from her, when most of all she was to have been cherished.'
1536: The Year that Changed Henry VIII, Suzannah Lipscomb

Thread on reddit where someone asked about people you're weirdly attracted to. Never really like the concept of a weird crush anyway (imagine telling someone to their face it's weird to be attracted to them) but most of the answers are genuinely just intelligent women.
"Sure, she's conventionally attractive but she's also smart/funny/competent and that terrifies me, therefore it's weird to be attracted to her."
