This book was released on 2024-05-04 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diana’s Ball Sports 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. This volume (115,000 words) features Diana’s reports on baseball, basketball, billiards, bowling, cricket, croquet, football, tennis, and her favorite sport, golf. More than 100 of the 152 articles in this volume are about golf, including coverage of the Women’s National Golf Tournament held in Philadelphia that was published on the sports page, apart from her regular column. Several of her articles describe the condition of women’s college sports in the late 19th century. Diana is an engaging writer with a keen observational eye and clever wordplay. The other three volumes presenting Diana's column are Diana's Outdoor Sports, Diana's Fitness Fashion & Beauty, and Diana's Anecdotes & Aphorisms. Additional ball sports are included in the following volumes: Ball Sports; Ella Black, The First Woman Baseball Correspondent; Helen Dauvray, The Actress Who Loved Baseball; 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: 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.

Book excerpt: Diana’s Outdoor Sports 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 passionate outdoorswoman and many of her articles are based on personal experiences. She was an excellent creative writer with a sparkling sense of humor and ability to turn a clever phrase. This volume features 217 article segments (110,000 words) about field sports, equestrianism, wheel sports, water sports and winter sports, excerpted from longer columns that veered among many topics which are included in the other three volumes. Field sports include 54 articles related to hunting, fishing, camping, guns, nature, dogs and birds. 48 articles on equestrianism focus on horseback riding, driving carriages, and attending horse shows. Cycling is featured in 67 articles, including 20 articles predating her “Athletic Woman” column, establishing her pivotal role in the evolution of the bicycle, invention of the bifurcated riding skirt, and a lawsuit against an athletic club that expelled her due to her gender. She also introduced the automobile to her readers and describes the excitement of her first ride. 48 articles describe her adventures with water sports (swimming, boating), and winter sports (ice skating and sledding). The other three volumes presenting Diana's column are Diana's Ball Sports, Diana's Fitness Fashion & Beauty, and Diana's Anecdotes & Aphorisms. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.

Book excerpt: This is a story of hopes and dreams and chasing treasure. It is a story of a desire to find and salvage a shipwreck and recover a cargo of importance. Starting without any money, without any special qualifications and without any special equipment. Just the dream. From the time DIANA first became known until the time she and her cargo were recovered from the deep, ten years elapsed. But it was worth every agony, every night’s lost sleep and every frustration because of all the ways in which money can be earned, historic shipwreck salvage is probably the most exciting, pleasurable and satisfying. A glimpse into the a family, and a thoroughly researched history of the British HEIC and East India Trade.

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.

Book excerpt: Diana’s Anecdotes & Aphorisms 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. While sports were her primary focus, Diana’s column included social commentary, relationship advice, recipes and many subjects unrelated to athletics. These off-topic segments are presented in this collection based on their inclusion in her column. They provide insight into the character of the woman who was bold enough to display her athletic interests at the end of the 19th century. Readers solely interested in sports may not find this volume germane; readers interested in the woman behind the column will find it indispensable. All readers would find it fascinating, as she was a delightful and talented writer with a lively sense of humor whose work deserves to be appreciated and preserved. This volume features 191 articles (132,000 words), 628 aphorisms, and one theatrical play written in 1904 as her career veered into acting on stage when she was in her fifties. It also includes newspaper articles interviewing her when she was in her eighties and nineties. She died in 1946 at the age of 94. The other three volumes presenting Diana's column are Diana's Ball Sports, Diana's Outdoor Sports, and Diana's Fitness, Fashion & Beauty. 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: Nearly everyone in America is interested in sports. However, many people are becoming disenchanted. Media coverage is dominated by scandalous stories involving many of Americas best known figures in nearly all major sports. Fans have come to see professional athletes, in general, as being overpaid, immature and obnoxious. Ticket prices have become outrageously exorbitant. Many fans feel that they have been betrayed by something that they once held so dear. One Fan Left Behind, written by a typical, longtime sports fan, speaks to and for those fans. Some of the issues addressed are controversial and may serve as catalysts for further thought. Many dubious things about sports are blithely taken for granted. For instance, did you ever wonder why it is that if a basketball player is fouled in the act of shooting 25 feet from the basket, (a shot which he was probably going to miss anyway) he gets to move ten feet closer to the hoop to shoot three free throws? But if he is fouled in the act of shooting a lay up, (a shot which he rarely misses) he has to move several feet further from the basket to shoot only two free throws. One Fan Left Behind is written in a style which is lighthearted, entertaining and at times, tongue-in-cheek. Portions could be used as a stand-up comedy routine. Other segments can be described as nostalgic, poignant and/or deadly serious. The topic is singularly timely. So many things happen every day that it was difficult for the author to finish writing this book. He had to simply drop the pencil and stop writing. The story is still unfolding.

It's even harder when you have a mother who doesn't understand, a nagging sense of self-doubt, and a secret crush you can't confess...not even to your bosom friend. L. M. Montgomery's timeless classic, Anne of Green Gables, has been reimagined from the perspective of Diana Barry, Anne's best friend and kindred spirit. As Diana and Anne navigate the path from childhood to their grown-up lives, parents, schoolmates, and Anne's well-meaning blunders contrive to keep them apart. But two girls destined for lifelong friendship can't be separated so easily...can they? With the sweet charm and dreamy atmosphere of Montgomery's original story, Diana of Orchard Slope is sure to delight Anne fans, historical fiction readers, and lovers of the Jane Austen Fanfiction genre.

She doesn’t understand her reactions but can’t afford to question them or tell anyone how she feels. She begins to shelter her emotions and takes on a superficial, casual attitude towards life. She can’t wait to leave Pineland. To escape small-town life, she goes to New York City, where people mind their own business; but soon discovers that the problems of living in New York are just as complex as sophisticated.

Book excerpt: Just three months after his first quest, Abyss and Diana are once again dragged into the bizarre. A group of aliens trying to test humanity and a decisive strike from the Brotherhood of Clerics drag in the opportunistic water-wielder Friedrich Drake. Caught up in strange mutations and injuries once again, the young hero must leap through time, traveling to both the past and present to restore the rifts in the fabric of the universe. As he seals a time loop for the half-mad Witch Dorothy, Abyss furthers his connection with all the Earth's fauna, learning to co-exist with a tentacle buried inside his chest. Thrown into the future, the boy must come face to face with many possibilities, each of them filled with disappointments and shortcomings. And as his journey continues, the ominous Pharaoh and the cynical Diana continue to oversee his development, whilst Inder and Latis are once again sent to assist him. Inevitably, it seems like growing up and maturity mean giving up on many dreams. Always filled with injury and disaster and never quite complete, the new saga of Abyss's story abounds with twists, turns, and a fair share of oddities. For better or for worse, there is no fate that is set in stone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When real estate agent Diana Sullivan, raised in affluent in Chevy Chase, steps from her car onto the gravel parking lot of Mattingly's General Store in June 1957, she enters an unfamiliar world--the isolated and rural 7th District of St. Mary's County in Southern Maryland. As she walks toward the store seeking directions, she is jostled by a young man. While Harry helps Diana retrieve the scattered contents of her purse, he gives her a preview of the local vernacular and mannerisms. Although Diana leaves the young waterman in anger after this volatile first meeting, she will welcome Harry's assistance later in the day. In time, Diana grows to love Harry, his family, and the region's culture. She enjoys the warmth and acceptance of the locals, a tightly knit community of watermen and tobacco farmers, many of whose families' roots extent back to Southern Maryland's colonial days. However, she knows that her upper-class family would disapprove of her involvement with these rural people. Soon, critical external pressures buffet the cocoon that Diana and Harry have spun around their relationship, causing the two lovers to question whether their love can survive.
