The 2nd Women's Boat Race took place on 16 March 1929.
The contest was between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge and held on the River Thames along a half-mile course.
The first Women's Boat Race was conducted on The Isis in 1927.
[2] Cambridge were represented by Newnham while Oxford saw a mix of St Hilda's and Oxford Home-Students.
[3] The crews were forbidden from racing side-by-side, so Cambridge rowed the 0.5-mile (0.80 km) course first, followed by Oxford.
