Book excerpt: Adelia Kate Brainerd began writing “The Outdoor Woman” column in Harper’s Bazar magazine in 1894 when she was 21 years old and continued until her marriage in 1899. Her column marked a departure from the publication's usual focus on fashion and homemaking, introducing essays on sports and athletics to a female audience. The 123 articles (140,000 words) in this volume of the Sports She Wrote series span a wide range of sports and outdoor activities. Adelia's detailed descriptions of bicycling topics exploring the methods, machinery, attire, and touring possibilities awheel, encouraged many women to mount and master the two-wheeler when it was first introduced. Her coverage of prominent golf tournaments and players contributed to the burgeoning interest in women's golf during the late 19th century. Adelia's writings encompassed an extensive list of sports, including archery, badminton, basketball, bowling, canoeing, cricket, equestrianism, ice hockey, ice skating, roller skating, swimming, tennis, rowing, fencing, physical fitness, and more. Her articles also featured the evolution of women's sports fashion and highlighted obscure activities like hand polo and Lang ball. Through her pioneering contributions, Adelia Brainerd paved the way for women's involvement in sports journalism and expanded the coverage of women’s athletic pursuits in popular newspapers and magazines. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a collection of essays that explore the relationship between sporting clothing and gender. Drawing on uniform and sports apparel as a means of exploring the socio-sexual politics of contemporary US society, the contributions analyse the historical, political-economic, socio-cultural and sport-specific dimensions of gendered clothing in sport. Part of a two-volume series (the other discussing this phenomenon in a global context), contributors cover topics such as WNBA uniform politics, military promotion, female sportscaster clothing, magazine depictions, plus-size exercise apparel, FloJo, the Skirt Chaser 5k race, and the socio-politics of the LPGA, CrossFit, roller derby, rock climbing, and more. As the first single compendium to discuss American sportswomen’s apparel, this collection will be of interest to practitioners and scholars of sports history, the sociology of sport, and gender/media studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often condemned as a form of oppression, fashion could and did allow women to express modern gender identities and promote feminist ideas. Einav Rabinovitch-Fox examines how clothes empowered women, and particularly women barred from positions of influence due to race or class. Moving from 1890s shirtwaists through the miniskirts and unisex styles of the 1970s, Rabinovitch-Fox shows how the rise of mass media culture made fashion a vehicle for women to assert claims over their bodies, femininity, and social roles. She also highlights how trends in women’s sartorial practices expressed ideas of independence and equality. As women employed new clothing styles, they expanded feminist activism beyond formal organizations and movements and reclaimed fashion as a realm of pleasure, power, and feminist consciousness. A fascinating account of clothing as an everyday feminist practice, Dressed for Freedom brings fashion into discussions of American feminism during the long twentieth century.

This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most impactful features of the bicycle in the late 19th century was its expansion of travel opportunities off the beaten path. The articles and books (104,000 words) in this volume of the Sports She Wrote series are a blend of travelogue and cycling adventures, capturing the essence of wheeled touring through women's narratives. Their accounts describe the complexities of long-distance cycling through native and foreign lands and depict the cultures encountered along the way, providing pioneering guidebooks for fellow cyclists to follow and valuable advice for women awheel. Bicycling evolved in the 1890s beyond mere transportation into a source of newfound independence for women, a means of exploration and adventure according to the rider’s own schedule, enabling enthusiasts to tour areas inaccessible by railroads, free from stagecoach lines and mass transit constraints, without the cost and maintenance responsibilities of a horse. This new mobility sparked a social movement for road infrastructure improvements, which were essential to the forthcoming automobile era. The initial section features articles and illustrations from 1896 to 1898, including Margaret Valentine Le Long's remarkable solo journey from Chicago to San Francisco. This is followed by two books by Fanny Bullock Workman and her husband William Workman. Their literary contributions, Algerian Memories (1895) and Sketches Awheel in Modern Iberia (1897), including dozens of Fanny's photographs, provide visual and narrative journeys through North Africa and Spain. Fanny was a New Woman and an advocate for women’s suffrage. She was also a noted mountain climber and her book In the Ice World of Himalaya is featured in the Mountaineering volume of the Sports She Wrote series. These narratives celebrate the bicycle's role in alternative vacation options for active men and women, leaving a lasting impact on late 19th-century women's cycling history in America and around the world. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century, including nine volumes on cycling.

This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Robins Pennell was a widely published American travel writer renowned for her literary prowess and cycling expeditions across Europe. Teaming up with her husband, artist Joseph Pennell (whose illustrations accompany her text in this volume), the duo explored Britain and Europe on tandem tricycles and bicycles, chronicling their journeys in captivating prose and detailed illustrations. Their cycling odyssey began in 1884 when they accepted a commission from The Century Magazine, leading to their first book, A Canterbury Pilgrimage (1885), followed by Two Pilgrims’ Progress (1887), and Our Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy (1893). Elizabeth's insightful essays in this volume, including Cycling (1890) and At Last, The Ladies’ Perfect Cycling Costume (1892), offer valuable guidance on riding and attire for women cyclists in the Victorian Era. Elizabeth Pennell’s literary contributions extended beyond cycling, encompassing biographies, art criticism, and culinary writings. The Pennell homestead in London served as a hub for literary and artistic luminaries of the time. Through Elizabeth’s writings, readers can embark on a journey through Europe's landscapes while gaining profound insights into the evolving role of women in cycling. Her works stand as literary treasures and historical documents, illuminating an era when cycling symbolized independence and adventure, transcending mere transportation to become a hallmark of exploration and personal freedom. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century, including nine volumes on cycling.

Book excerpt: Diana’s Fitness, Fashion & Beauty is one of 4 volumes in the Sports She Wrote series written by the first woman with her own weekly sports column in a major American newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, from 1898 to 1901. Her real name (which she never revealed in print) was Mary Lagen, a prolific writer and bicycling pioneer, who inaugurated her “Athletic Woman” column at the age of 46. Diana was a strong proponent of physical fitness and athletics for women. She advocated exercise and good health as foundational aspects of well-rounded womanhood and lifelong happiness, as well as fundamental aspects of female beauty. Her devotion to fashion, diet, beauty and health endured for years beyond her “Athletic Woman” column, as she later became one of the first women editors of the “Woman’s Page” in a major American newspaper. This volume features 213 articles (120,000 words) presented in the following categories: fitness & athletics (60), fencing (12), boxing (5), dance (5), fashion (91), and beauty (40). Diana is an engaging writer with a keen observational eye and clever wordplay. The other three volumes presenting Diana's column are Diana's Ball Sports, Diana's Outdoor Sports, and Diana's Anecdotes & Aphorisms. Additional articles on fitness, fashion and beauty are included in the following volumes of the Sports She Wrote series: Physical Fitness, Health, & Beauty; Physical Education & Culture; 7 Exercise Manuals; What to Wear; and Adelia Brainerd, The Outdoor Woman of Harper’s Bazar. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 19th century, camping out emerged as an avenue for women's engagement with nature and provided access to an assortment of athletic pursuits, including hiking, hunting, fishing, swimming and boating. This volume of the Sports She Wrote series features 64 articles (134,000 words) written by women from 1879 to 1900, accompanied by 50 images, offering firsthand accounts of camping experiences, showcasing life in the great outdoors as a respite from the pressures of the new and expanding urban lifestyles that many women found suffocating. Informative narratives describe exploring national parks, family excursions with children, practical necessities of outdoor life, proper attire and walking tours through nature’s wonders, including Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, the Rockies and the Ozarks. Sources include Outing Magazine, The Ladies’ Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly and The San Francisco Examiner. Contributors include Juliet Wilbor Tompkins, Minna Caroline Smith, Kate Masterson, Mary Sargent Hopkins, E. Pauline Johnson's column on outdoor pastimes, and Jessamy Harte on camping in the Adirondacks. An illuminating series of letters and articles published in Forest and Stream magazine in 1879-1880 offers historical insights into the challenges faced by wives of avid outdoorsmen. Eighteen of the articles were published in a short-lived “Women’s Column” that may have been discontinued due to sensitivities expressed by male readers. Through these eloquent narratives, camping transcends mere outdoor activity, becoming a journey of self-discovery and camaraderie among women and families, celebrating those who embraced the wild retreat and established camping out as an enduring popular escape from social restrictions. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.

Book excerpt: The first manuals for women’s physical fitness and exercise were published in the 19th century. This volume of the Sports She Wrote series presents seven calisthenics manuals authored by women from 1827 to 1900, reflecting the evolving landscape of women's physical fitness, including more than 200 illustrations (102,000 words). On the Utility of Exercise (1827) by Marian Mason introduces calisthenics set to music. A Course of Calisthenics for Young Ladies (1831) by "M." (presumably Marian Mason) features detailed illustrated exercises and an early exercise machine with weights and pulleys. Calisthenic Exercises for Schools, Families and Health Establishments (1856) by Catharine Beecher (excerpts) emphasizes physical education for women. The Laws of Life (1859) by Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell challenges stereotypes of female frailty. Physical Culture, Beauty, Ideals (1892) by Mrs. John Bailey focuses on short daily exercises for self-improvement. Psycho-Physical Culture (1892) by the Thomas sisters (excerpts) promotes mind-body interconnectedness. School Gymnastics Free Hand (1900) by Jessie H. Bancroft (excerpts) offers comprehensive exercises for schoolchildren. These manuals contribute to understanding women's historical engagement with physical fitness, health and exercise during an era when the concept of women training with weights and acquiring strength was new, controversial and often misunderstood. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ball sports were almost exclusively a male pursuit until women began to participate in the late 19th century, most notably in basketball, golf and tennis. This volume of the Sports She Wrote series showcases over 100 articles (134,000 words) written by women from 1882 to 1900, accompanied by 100 illustrations. Basketball, invented in 1891, rapidly gained popularity among women, with high school and intercollegiate matches sparking nationwide interest. The exclusion of men as spectators in some venues (due to women playing in scandalous bloomers) fostered intrigue, while in other regions both genders watched women play without segregation. The 49 articles about basketball from 1894 to 1900 include coverage of the first intercollegiate games, 13 articles spotlighting Clara Gregory Baer's pioneering role in basketball in Louisiana, and the short story The Emotions of a Sub-Guard written by a graduate of Smith College. Golf was primarily a pastime for the wealthy elite due to the cost of equipment and course maintenance at private country clubs. The sport witnessed a massive surge in women's involvement, marked by the inauguration of the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship in 1895. Tennis also flourished, spawning national tournaments in the late 1880s, driving women's dress reform to abandon restrictive clothing to permit freedom of movement, and adopting colorful styles of the now ubiquitous tennis shoes. Articles about baseball, billiards, bowling, cricket, field hockey, football and soccer provide a comprehensive overview of women's engagement with popular ball games during this era. Several obscure and antiquated ball sports are also included in this collection, providing a fascinating glimpse into an array of ball games that never gained widespread popularity. Ball sports are also featured in four other volumes of the Sports She Wrote series: Helen Dauvray, The Actress Who Loved Baseball; Ella Black, The First Woman Baseball Correspondent; Adelia Brainerd, The Outdoor Woman of Harper’s Bazar; and Diana’s Ball Sports. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.
