Miss Wicket and Miss Trigger, 1770 - A Glimpse into the Competitive Spirit of Eighteenth-Century Women
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1770 takes us back to a time when women defied societal norms and engaged in competitive sports. Titled "Miss Wicket and Miss Trigger" it showcases two remarkable ladies who were not afraid to challenge gender stereotypes. The illustration portrays Miss Trigger as an exceptional marksman, her shotgun poised confidently as she aims at a bird soaring above. With forty-five notches on her belt, she proudly displays her prowess with the gun. On the other hand, we see Miss Wicket holding a cricket bat, symbolizing her skill in this popular British game. Dressed elegantly in fashionable attire of the era, these women embody strength and determination amidst their refined appearance. The image captures their passion for sport while challenging traditional notions of femininity. Created by George Paston (a pseudonym for Emily Morse Symonds) and John Collet, this print offers insight into social caricature during the eighteenth century. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, women were breaking barriers and participating actively in activities traditionally reserved for men. As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, let us celebrate these trailblazing sportswomen who fearlessly pursued their passions despite societal expectations. Their legacy continues to inspire generations of women today to embrace their own strengths and strive for greatness on any playing field they choose.
