The Bodyline Fix: How Women Saved Cricket By Marion Stell, University of Queensland Press, 2022, 286 pages, paperback. In 1934-1935, a group of talented young women defied social and family expectations to pursue cricket, gaining recognition and celebrity in Test series around the world. Their stories are told here for the first time, shedding light on gender, race and class in 1930s Australia. Drawing from rare source material, photos and interviews with the original players, The Bodyline Fix reveals a pivotal moment in Australian sport history. This book shines a long-overdue light on the impact of these early sportswomen, whose legacy continues to inspire current generations.
