EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this print from July 1st, 1909, we witness a remarkable scene at the Bournville sweet factory near Birmingham. A group of young girls are seen enthusiastically engaged in a game of cricket on the factory grounds. The image, taken by Topical Press Agency/Getty Images, transports us back to a time when female sport was still considered unconventional. The landscape format beautifully showcases the sprawling field where these spirited females gather for their recreational pursuit. Dressed in traditional cricket attire, they stand united as they challenge societal norms and embrace their love for the sport. Their determination is palpable as they swing their bats with grace and precision. This historic photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes empowerment and breaking barriers. It serves as a testament to the resilience of women who dared to defy expectations and participate in sports activities traditionally reserved for men. As we admire this archival gem, we are reminded of how far society has come since that summer day over a century ago. Today's world celebrates gender equality in sports, thanks to trailblazers like these courageous girls from Bournville. Let this image be an inspiration for all those who continue to push boundaries and pave the way towards inclusivity within every leisure activity.
