Not only conservative men had early last century problems with sports women, but also leading feminists. Writes tilburg 013 Marjet Derks in a remarkable tilburg 013 story in the History tilburg 013 Magazine, this month has a special on sports history.
In 1921, writes Marjet Derks of the Radboud University Nijmegen, tilburg 013 held weekly De Groene a survey of 23 famous women on the suitability of sport. 'Walking and exercise was almost universally acceptable, "said Derks,' which tennis game, recreational cycling, swimming and rowing style as well. But matches was found undesirable. "
"Do tilburg 013 you consider the football game for the wife?", Was one of the questions. Only two women voted in this, and the rest followed only negative reactions. It was unfeminine, rough and unsightly according to the women, who were in favor of women's suffrage and the right to all types of work. "Let tilburg 013 us continue aesthetic, my sisters," Derks cites the contribution tilburg 013 of Lydia van Heemskerck Veeckens about football.
Why did these women so much attention to social equality, but they did not value a free choice on the sports tilburg 013 field? "The feminist movement was primarily a politically engaged movement," explains Derks, "who campaigned for the right to work and political participation." League of Women was mutual for those not in the interest of the broad struggle.
And then there was that: "The forever debating and gathering middle-aged women from the first wave of feminism is not really connected with the world of a younger generation, which was already trying to reap the fruits of their efforts. Sports by women and girls were from the twenties are increasingly part of the social order, both because of and in spite of feminism. "
