What would the great oarsmen of the 'seventies and 'eighties have said if they, in all the glory of their whiskers and straw hats, had pulled in to a wharf at Barnes or Putney and encountered a women's eight just setting out? It would have seemed to them a shocking and almost sacrilegious thing for women to take up rowing. But women have done it, and at the women's colleges it is now a recognized and popular sport.
