EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, circa 1903, showcases a young Edwardian girl named Ellen Jessie Andrews (not to be confused with the well-known artist of the same name) engaging in an unconventional pastime – playing hockey. The photograph, a testament to the evolving role of women in sports during the early 20th century, presents Ellen with an air of determination and nonchalant confidence as she casually holds her hockey stick behind her head. The Edwardian era, known for its opulence and rigid social norms, was a time when women's participation in sports was still a novelty. Hockey, a sport traditionally dominated by men, was beginning to gain popularity among the fairer sex. This photograph, captured by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the world of young girls embracing the thrill and freedom that came with playing hockey. The simplicity of the scene, with Ellen's modest attire and the lush, green grass beneath her feet, adds to the charm of the image. The fact that she is shown playing hockey in such an unconventional way further emphasizes the rebellious spirit of the era and the growing desire for women to challenge societal expectations. This photograph is not only a fascinating snapshot of history but also a reminder of the power of determination and the importance of breaking free from societal norms. Ellen Jessie Andrews, with her hockey stick behind her head, embodies the spirit of adventure and the courage to defy convention, making this image a true treasure for anyone interested in the history of women in sports.
