Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of the Sports She Wrote series offers a comprehensive exploration of 19th-century women's athletic fashion, featuring 124 articles written by 80 women (125,000 words) between the Civil War and 1900, published in dozens of periodicals. Illustrated with 130 images, this collection showcases the intersection of fashion and sport, from the scandalous practicalities of swimwear to the refined elegance of ice-skating ensembles. Spanning a wide range of physical activities, including golf, tennis, horseback riding, hunting, cycling, swimming, skating, mountaineering, physical fitness and more, these articles delve into the evolution of sportswear as a pivotal aspect of the dress reform movement of the 1800s. Amidst the social constraints of Victorian-era fashion, athletic women rebelled, ushering in innovations such as shorter skirts, practical footwear, and adaptable attire for the New Woman’s healthful physical activities. Controversy surrounded garments like bloomers and knickerbockers, challenging societal norms and inspiring debates over femininity and functionality. Corsets were shunned and tennis shoes became fashionable. Offering insights into the social impact of women's athletic attire and its enduring influence on contemporary fashion, this volume serves as a fascinating time-capsule of the evolution of style and women's self-expression in the 19th century. 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 groundbreaking story of the National Women’s Football League, and the players whose spirit, rivalries, and tenacity changed the legacy of women’s sports forever. In 1967, a Cleveland promoter recruited a group of women to compete as a traveling football troupe. It was conceived as a gimmick—in the vein of the Harlem Globetrotters—but the women who signed up really wanted to play. And they were determined to win. Hail Mary chronicles the highs and lows of the National Women’s Football League, which took root in nineteen cities across the US over the course of two decades. Drawing on new interviews with former players from the Detroit Demons, the Toledo Troopers, the LA Dandelions, and more, Hail Mary brings us into the stadiums where they broke records, the small-town lesbian bars where they were recruited, and the backrooms where the league was formed, championed, and eventually shuttered. In an era of vibrant second wave feminism and Title IX activism, the athletes of the National Women’s Football League were boisterous pioneers on and off the field: you’ll be rooting for them from start to finish.
