Since the 1930s, women have been champions and pioneers in the game of
cricket - but their stories remain largely untold.This book celebrates
some of our greatest cricket players - Belinda Clark, Ellyse Perry,
Meg Lanning and Alyssa Healy - while paying homage to the women who
came before. Learn the story of Emily Whatman bowling overs to her
young son, Don Bradman, in the backyard of their home in New South
Wales; read about Christiana Willes who (legend has it) first
delivered the overarm bowl in order to get around her uniform skirts;
watch Peggy Antonio capture the sporting sorld's imagination with her
destructive leg-spin deliveries; meet Betty Wilson, the first
Australian woman to score a Test century against England; and of
course, enter the trophy cabinet of Horne's own mother, Nesta Cavill
Williams.
