When we think of ladies of the Victorian era, our first thought doesn't go to sports. Yet women of the 19th century found many ways to be active despite the restrictive clothing of the day. Full skirts were typically worn for riding, skating, croquet, golf, tennis, hiking, fencing and archery. Bloomers aided in activities such as cycling, gymnastics and swimming. Toward the end of the 20th century, women participated in team sports including field hockey, volleyball, baseball and basketball.Artist and fashion historian Brenda Sneathen Mattox represents 14 Victorian sporting activities in a beautifully illustrated wardrobe for two dolls.
