Wrestling club for women in Vauxhall

Miss Dot Butler, the schools champion wrestler, who issued an open challenge to any man of her own age (22) under ten stone (whether this was taken up is unclear), is shown demonstrating one of her grips in a bout with Miss Bina Theodore, another assistant.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1928, we find ourselves in the heart of Vauxhall, London, where a pioneering Women's Wrestling Club had recently been established. The image showcases two of its most dedicated members, Miss Dot Butler and Miss Bina Theodore, engaged in an intense grappling demonstration. Miss Dot Butler, a school champion wrestler, is shown asserting her strength and skill as she locks eyes with her opponent, Miss Theodore. With a determined expression, she demonstrates one of her formidable grips, showcasing the power and agility that made her a champion. Her athletic build and focused demeanor embody the spirit of the growing women's wrestling movement. Miss Theodore, an assistant at the club, stands resiliently against her opponent, ready to counter with her own wrestling techniques. The photograph captures the essence of their fierce competition, as well as the camaraderie and mutual respect between these two strong women. The inception of this wrestling club in 1928 was a groundbreaking moment for women's sports and fitness. Miss Dot Butler, with her open challenge to any man of her age and weight, further challenged societal norms and expectations for women's physical abilities. The photograph serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment and the growing popularity of women's wrestling in the 1920s. This evocative image, taken by the esteemed Illustrated London News Ltd and featuring the enchanting work of Mary Evans, offers a glimpse into a time when women's sports began to gain recognition and acceptance in a male-dominated world. The strength, determination, and unity displayed by these wrestlers continue to inspire and empower generations of women athletes.
