EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in women's history - the first Open Bowls Tournament for women. The setting is Eastbourne, a picturesque coastal town nestled in East Sussex, England. The focus of the image is on two remarkable women who have just completed their match. On the right stands Mrs Saward, her face beaming with triumph as she celebrates her victory over Mrs Routledge on the left. Both ladies are dressed elegantly in traditional bowls attire, showcasing their dedication to this beloved sport. A notable detail captured by the photographer is Mrs Routledge's gesture of acknowledgement towards the centering of the jack - a small but crucial element that determines success or failure within each game. This subtle act symbolizes not only good sportsmanship but also highlights the precision and skill required to excel at lawn bowls. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how far women have come in breaking down barriers and claiming their rightful place within traditionally male-dominated activities. It represents an era between two world wars when societal norms were being challenged and redefined. Preserved by TopFoto, this image allows us to appreciate these pioneering individuals who paved the way for future generations of female athletes. Their determination and passion continue to inspire us today as we celebrate equality and progress both on and off sporting fields around the world.
