Hunting and shooting are generally considered male pursuits, but many women also hunt for sustenance and sport and have done so for centuries. The 58 articles and 45 illustrations in this volume of the Sports She Wrote series are culled from magazines and books written by women, originally published from 1881 to 1900. They reveal the evolution of hunting from a means of obtaining food and clothing to a regulated practice aimed at ecological balance and sport. Articles cover a diverse array of hunting methods and prey, from traditional fox hunting and deer stalking to more exotic pursuits like alligator hunting in Florida, tiger hunting in Africa and whaling in the open sea. With a focus on first-person accounts, the collection offers insights into women's experiences in the field, often marked by compassion for their prey. Additionally, it delves into the practical and fashionable aspects of 19th-century women's hunting attire, showcasing the intersection of sport and style. The volume concludes with three articles about archery from 1883 to 1895, and seven articles about guns (rifles, shotguns, pistols) from 1889 to 1898. Additional articles about hunting and shooting are available in the following volumes of the Sports She Wrote series: Fisherwomen; Camping Out; Fannie Pearson Hardy; Equestrian Reports; The Horsewoman’s Trilogy; Diana’s Outdoor Sports; and Adelia Brainerd, The Outdoor Woman of Harper’s Bazar. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.
