HELEN WILLS 1929 ESSAY on WOMEN ATHLETES FREED by FASHION CHANGES TENNIS & BIKES

Description

Here you have a wonderful bit of VINTAGE HISTORICAL MEMORABILIA! Please…SEE THE SCAN!!! This is Helen Wills featured inside a complete 1929 edition of Reader’s Digest Magazine. This 2–page article is written by World Tennis Champion, Helen Wills titled “SPORTWOMEN OF TODAY”. This is a fantastic piece giving the perspective of a female athlete on how her modern tennis game was made possible by the recent revolution in what women dared to wear in playing tennis. (She actually ascribes the first shift to the bicycle and women’s use of the new contraption.) The magazine is in fairly gently read condition. Not mint, but quite clean and a tough find!!! This is a great piece FOR THE COLLECTOR! Take it home with you! GOOD LUCK! Please Check Out My Ebay Store for more great memorabilia!!! I am happy to send this to any country. 1st class air postage will be charged… More excellent packaging, and free 1st class shipping here in the United States! THANKS 933
