Pioneers in Bloomers by Rob Hadgraft

Womens sport is finally flourishing in Britain. But still largely unrecognised are the pioneering efforts of the Victorian era pedestriennes who laid the foundations for modern woman to participate in professional sport.
Rob Hadgraft spent 26 years as a regional newspaper journalist before turning freelance to research and write about sporting history. He specialises in athletics and football, and this is his 20th book, three of which made the final stages of the annual William Hill Sports Book of the Year awards. Rob, born in 1955 and based in North Essex, celebrated 40 years as a club runner himself in 2022.
