EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1888, capturing a moment in history when the women of Royal Holloway College formed their very own hockey team. The image, taken by an English photographer from the 19th century, showcases these pioneering female athletes proudly posing together. Dressed in long skirts that were typical of the time, these girls defy societal norms as they engage in this exhilarating sport. Their determination and passion for the game are palpable through their confident stances and focused expressions. It is evident that they possess both skill and camaraderie. The photograph itself is a reproduction from the 1930s, printed using gravure technique which adds depth and texture to its composition. Preserved within a private collection, it serves as a testament to the historical significance of women's involvement in sports during this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how far women's participation in sports has come since then. These trailblazing players paved the way for future generations of female athletes who continue to challenge stereotypes and excel on fields worldwide. This print not only captures a specific moment but also symbolizes resilience, empowerment, and progress within society. It stands as a powerful reminder that gender should never limit one's pursuit of passion or achievement on any playing field.
