The Vogue of Squash Rackets - A Game for Both Sexes

EDITORS COMMENTS
- This intriguing image from the Illustrated London News in 1922 showcases the emerging popularity of squash as a sport for women, with an accompanying article that celebrated the growing trend. The photograph features two prominent ladies of the game, Miss Joyce Cave, the lady squash champion of 1921, and Miss S. Huntsman, the reigning champion of 1922, each holding their rackets in a confident and determined pose. The illustration by Steven Spurrier, the ILN's special artist, adds to the excitement with a dynamic scene of Mr. R. Gordon Canning playing Miss Huntsman at Queens Club in the ladies versus men squash rackets handicap. The image is a testament to the growing recognition of women's athletic abilities and their right to participate in sports previously reserved for men. The 1920s was a decade of change, and this photograph captures the spirit of equality and progress that characterized the era. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of squash and the role women played in shaping its evolution into a popular and inclusive sport.
