Mountaineering

Peak Performances Featuring Frederica Plunket, Aubrey "Lizzie" Le Blond, and Fanny Bullock Workman

By: Lost Century of Sports Collection,Frederica Plunket,Aubrey "Lizzie" Le Blond,Fanny Bullock Workman

This volume of the Sports She Wrote series is a riveting journey through the exploits of intrepid women mountain climbers. Six articles and three complete books detail mountaineering escapades, including a humorous commentary on mountain tourism by Juliet Wilbor Tompkins written from the perspective of the mountain. Frederica Plunket's book “Here and There Among the Alps” (1875) challenges gender norms and defies cultural limitations imposed on women. “The High Alps in Winter” (1883) was written by Mrs. Fred Burnaby, who later became famous as Aubrey “Lizzie” Le Blonde, a renowned mountaineer and one of the first female filmmakers. Fanny Bullock Workman's “In the Ice World of Himalaya” (1900) documents her daring Himalayan conquests and advocacy for women's rights. The volume candidly explores the dynamics between explorers and local laborers, acknowledging the complexities of privilege and gender in sport of mountaineering. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 400 women in the 19th century.

Ambitious Bicycle Tours

Long-Distance Cycling in the United States, Europe & Africa

By: Lost Century of Sports Collection,Fanny Bullock Workman

One of the most impactful features of the bicycle in the late 19th century was its expansion of travel opportunities off the beaten path. The articles and books (104,000 words) in this volume of the Sports She Wrote series are a blend of travelogue and cycling adventures, capturing the essence of wheeled touring through women's narratives. Their accounts describe the complexities of long-distance cycling through native and foreign lands and depict the cultures encountered along the way, providing pioneering guidebooks for fellow cyclists to follow and valuable advice for women awheel. Bicycling evolved in the 1890s beyond mere transportation into a source of newfound independence for women, a means of exploration and adventure according to the rider’s own schedule, enabling enthusiasts to tour areas inaccessible by railroads, free from stagecoach lines and mass transit constraints, without the cost and maintenance responsibilities of a horse. This new mobility sparked a social movement for road infrastructure improvements, which were essential to the forthcoming automobile era. The initial section features articles and illustrations from 1896 to 1898, including Margaret Valentine Le Long's remarkable solo journey from Chicago to San Francisco. This is followed by two books by Fanny Bullock Workman and her husband William Workman. Their literary contributions, Algerian Memories (1895) and Sketches Awheel in Modern Iberia (1897), including dozens of Fanny's photographs, provide visual and narrative journeys through North Africa and Spain. Fanny was a New Woman and an advocate for women’s suffrage. She was also a noted mountain climber and her book In the Ice World of Himalaya is featured in the Mountaineering volume of the Sports She Wrote series. These narratives celebrate the bicycle's role in alternative vacation options for active men and women, leaving a lasting impact on late 19th-century women's cycling history in America and around the world. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century, including nine volumes on cycling.
