Description
See how cyclist Kittie Knox, swimmer Annette Kellerman, tennis player Suzanne Lenglen, Albertine LePensee and her Canadian hockey teammates, and Lily Parr with her soccer team flouted convention and risked scandal to wear things they could truly play in. They decided "this skirt won't work!" and donned bloomers, shorter skirts, or even modified men's garments in order to up their game, and in doing so helped change standards for what women could wear and do! Features back matter with cool facts about each woman and team, as well as a look at women athletes today who continue to take a stand for clothes that are more comfortable and inclusive.
