'They were noted as being pioneers' - Australian historian Elizabeth O'Callaghan

Stumped

Available for over a year

In the late 1890s a group of women in the Warrnambool area of Victoria, Australia, began paving the way for the female cricketers of today with a series of matches which made them famous throughout the country. The games they played were so popular that men's matches were abandoned so they could watch! Australian historian Elizabeth O'Callaghan tells us more about the women and what they did for cricket.
