Women Or Tigers? — The Fifth Challenge

‘Dammit!’, the king was in a rage, ‘Both prisoners chose the right door again. I have to make it more difficult, for my own and for my people’s entertainment. I will add one more room, place a tiger in two of them, and a woman in the last one. Let’s see how the prisoners will handle that challenge!’ he said.
‘What a superb idea!’ said the minister.

The three signs read:
ROOM I: THERE IS A TIGER IN THIS ROOM
ROOM II: THERE IS A WOMAN IN THIS ROOM
ROOM III: THERE IS A TIGER IN ROOM II
The king told that day’s prisoner that no more than one of the signs was correct.

Where was the woman?
