Book Description
Diana’s Outdoor Sports is one of 4 volumes in the Sports She Wrote series written by the first woman with her own weekly sports column in a major American newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, from 1898 to 1901. Her real name (which she never revealed in print) was Mary Lagen, a prolific writer and bicycling pioneer, who inaugurated her “Athletic Woman” column at the age of 46. Diana was a passionate outdoorswoman and many of her articles are based on personal experiences. She was an excellent creative writer with a sparkling sense of humor and ability to turn a clever phrase. This volume features 217 article segments (110,000 words) about field sports, equestrianism, wheel sports, water sports and winter sports, excerpted from longer columns that veered among many topics which are included in the other three volumes. Field sports include 54 articles related to hunting, fishing, camping, guns, nature, dogs and birds. 48 articles on equestrianism focus on horseback riding, driving carriages, and attending horse shows. Cycling is featured in 67 articles, including 20 articles predating her “Athletic Woman” column, establishing her pivotal role in the evolution of the bicycle, invention of the bifurcated riding skirt, and a lawsuit against an athletic club that expelled her due to her gender. She also introduced the automobile to her readers and describes the excitement of her first ride. 48 articles describe her adventures with water sports (swimming, boating), and winter sports (ice skating and sledding). The other three volumes presenting Diana's column are Diana's Ball Sports, Diana's Fitness Fashion & Beauty, and Diana's Anecdotes & Aphorisms. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.

Book Description
Diana’s Anecdotes & Aphorisms is one of 4 volumes in the Sports She Wrote series written by the first woman with her own weekly sports column in a major American newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, from 1898 to 1901. Her real name (which she never revealed in print) was Mary Lagen, a prolific writer and bicycling pioneer, who inaugurated her “Athletic Woman” column at the age of 46. While sports were her primary focus, Diana’s column included social commentary, relationship advice, recipes and many subjects unrelated to athletics. These off-topic segments are presented in this collection based on their inclusion in her column. They provide insight into the character of the woman who was bold enough to display her athletic interests at the end of the 19th century. Readers solely interested in sports may not find this volume germane; readers interested in the woman behind the column will find it indispensable. All readers would find it fascinating, as she was a delightful and talented writer with a lively sense of humor whose work deserves to be appreciated and preserved. This volume features 191 articles (132,000 words), 628 aphorisms, and one theatrical play written in 1904 as her career veered into acting on stage when she was in her fifties. It also includes newspaper articles interviewing her when she was in her eighties and nineties. She died in 1946 at the age of 94. The other three volumes presenting Diana's column are Diana's Ball Sports, Diana's Outdoor Sports, and Diana's Fitness, Fashion & Beauty. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.

Hunting and shooting are generally considered male pursuits, but many women also hunt for sustenance and sport and have done so for centuries. The 58 articles and 45 illustrations in this volume of the Sports She Wrote series are culled from magazines and books written by women, originally published from 1881 to 1900 (127,000 words). They reveal the evolution of hunting from a means of obtaining food and clothing to a regulated practice aimed at ecological balance and sport. Articles cover a diverse array of hunting methods and prey, from traditional fox hunting and deer stalking to more exotic pursuits like alligator hunting in Florida, tiger hunting in Africa and whaling in the open sea. With a focus on first-person accounts, the collection offers insights into women's experiences in the field, often marked by compassion for their prey. Additionally, it delves into the practical and fashionable aspects of 19th-century women's hunting attire, showcasing the intersection of sport and style. The volume concludes with three articles about archery from 1883 to 1895, and seven articles about guns (rifles, shotguns, pistols) from 1889 to 1898. Additional articles about hunting and shooting are available in the following volumes of the Sports She Wrote series: Fisherwomen; Camping Out; Fannie Pearson Hardy; Equestrian Reports; The Horsewoman’s Trilogy; Diana’s Outdoor Sports; and Adelia Brainerd, The Outdoor Woman of Harper’s Bazar.

Book Description
The adrenaline rush felt by the women in this volume of the Sports She Wrote series challenges the notion of Victorian-era women as placid demure damsels. These daring women adventurers' exploits, featured in 46 articles (116,000 words) written from 1871 to 1900, with 75 illustrations, include exhilarating hot-air balloon flights, courageous circus performers, underwater explorations, and death-defying dashes down icy rapids. Eleven articles showcase harrowing feats of audacious and sometimes foolhardy bravery by women who defy norms and push the boundaries of common sense, standing on the ledge of a tall building, swinging from a ringing bell tower, riding a forty-mile plume and ignoring the conventions of being a homemaker in the American West. Fourteen narratives recount the Alaskan Klondike Gold Rush, with vivid tales of survival amid frightening starvation and harsh freezing conditions that will chill you to the bone. Renowned travel writer Elizabeth Taylor's ten in-depth articles detail her expeditions into the Arctic Circle and the cultures she encountered as a lone woman explorer into previously uncharted territories. Three additional articles unveil traditional sports from Italy, Asia and Samoa, offering global perspectives on the wide world of sport. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.

Book Description
In the 19th century, camping out emerged as an avenue for women's engagement with nature and provided access to an assortment of athletic pursuits, including hiking, hunting, fishing, swimming and boating. This volume of the Sports She Wrote series features 64 articles (134,000 words) written by women from 1879 to 1900, accompanied by 50 images, offering firsthand accounts of camping experiences, showcasing life in the great outdoors as a respite from the pressures of the new and expanding urban lifestyles that many women found suffocating. Informative narratives describe exploring national parks, family excursions with children, practical necessities of outdoor life, proper attire and walking tours through nature’s wonders, including Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, the Rockies and the Ozarks. Sources include Outing Magazine, The Ladies’ Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly and The San Francisco Examiner. Contributors include Juliet Wilbor Tompkins, Minna Caroline Smith, Kate Masterson, Mary Sargent Hopkins, E. Pauline Johnson's column on outdoor pastimes, and Jessamy Harte on camping in the Adirondacks. An illuminating series of letters and articles published in Forest and Stream magazine in 1879-1880 offers historical insights into the challenges faced by wives of avid outdoorsmen. Eighteen of the articles were published in a short-lived “Women’s Column” that may have been discontinued due to sensitivities expressed by male readers. Through these eloquent narratives, camping transcends mere outdoor activity, becoming a journey of self-discovery and camaraderie among women and families, celebrating those who embraced the wild retreat and established camping out as an enduring popular escape from social restrictions. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.
