    • 1928, Dorothy L. Sayers, The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club‎[1]:
      In the old days, heaps of unmarried women were companions, and let me tell you, my dear girl, they had a much better time than they have now, with all this jazzing and short skirts and pretending to have careers. The modern girl hasn't a scrap of decent feeling or sentiment about her. Money--money and notoriety, that's all she's after. That's what we fought the war for--and that's what we've come back to!
