🎪 The Queen’s Ball That Never Was…
As the College prepares to welcome guests to a sold-out Ball tomorrow night, we’re looking back at the 1973 Easter Ball: the one that never happened.
From dreams of booking Wizzard and Arthur Brown’s flaming headdress (!) to lessons learned about budget spreadsheets and British weather, Paul Rex (Modern Languages, 1971) recalls how the ball was planned… and ultimately cancelled.
Read the full story on our website, complete with vintage poster artwork. And if you were ever involved in a Queen’s Ball, as a guest or organiser, we’d love to hear your memories: 📩 news@queens.ox.ac.uk

📚 “The Woman You Become”: a story of language, liberation, and collaboration.
Second-year German students at Queen’s have translated Hedwig Dohm’s 1895 feminist novella 'Werde, die du bist!' into English as 'The Woman You Become', under the guidance of their tutor Marie Martine. The result? A beautifully crafted text published by Taylor Editions.
✍️
What began as a classroom project became a creative, collective act of scholarship and one that now sits proudly in the Queen’s College Library.
💬 “When I first applied to Oxford, I’d never have dreamed I’d be a published author by the end of second year!” — Emily Dicker
Read more about the project, the translation process, and how collaboration sparked creativity and brought 19th-century feminism to life for a new audience.
