About the Book:Since the 1930s, women have been champions and pioneers in the game of cricket – and yet their stories remain mostly untold.Full Corset and Stockings details the history of women’s cricket in England and the game’s evolution as it moved to Australia, sharing the unknown stories of professional English and Australian players such as Emily Whatman (mother and childhood trainer of men’s cricket legend Don Bradman), left-arm bowler Peggy Antonio, and the author’s own mother Nesta Williams. From the 1800s through to the Great Depression and the height of the women’s game, to the re-emergence of women’s cricket in the twenty-first century, Horne shines a light on the influential women of a historic Australian sport."When underdogs rise, communities unite behind them, and barriers that once seemed insurmountable begin to crumble." —Belinda Clark AO, Foreword?
