EDWARDIAN WOMEN AT PLAY

Edwardian women were finding fresh fields to conquer, not just in work, but in sports as well. To scandalized reports of women rowing clubs, bicycling and gymnastic clubs, women's football clubs and even British women playing and winning at Wimbledon, women were pushing the boundaries of society.

But life was going to change beyond all recognition at the end of the Edwardian Era and the lives of women with it. Women's suffrage and the First World War would mean that women took new roles in society, undreamed of in Queen Victoria's Britain.
