We stand on shoulders of giants, but in sport most of time we don’t have a clue who these heroic female pioneers are. Insta: BluePlaqueRebellion #RecogniseHer

Where are all the blue plaques celebrating women? Great article Anna Kessel MBE! 🌟 #RecogniseHer blueplaquerebel Women's Sport Trust theguardian.com/culture/shortc…
Wonderful article on two pioneering referees in 1898 via Forgotten Women Wake The Gissing sisters deserve celebrating #recogniseher wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/wakefield…
“Emma Clarke garnered attention in 1895 as a black woman playing football. The fact she was able to make a life out of women’s football was extraordinary.” Michelle Moore on BBC Woman's Hour #HonourEmmaClarke
“It’s essential that Emma is remembered. This amazing woman’s story was forgotten how many more might there be? There could be a whole world that we don’t even know exists.” @_ESP_2012 on BBC Woman's Hour #HonourEmmaClarke
“We would love a statue - less than 1% of named individual sport statues are of women. If I could take my niece to Wembley Way and see a statue of Emma Clarke that would really speak to her.” Michelle Moore on BBC Woman's Hour re visibility of Britain’s pioneer footballer Fare
Great listen on BBC Woman's Hour, wonderful to hear Michelle Moore retelling the lost history of Emma Clarke, as discovered by Stuart Gibbs @stu68.bsky.social. We will be celebrating The RSA tomorrow evening. #HonourEmmaClarke Fare
Very sad to hear of the passing of Margaret Turner, Wales Women’s Lacrosse legend. Incredibly proud to have followed in her footsteps & played for her side. We can only aspire to be jetting around the globe, #pioneering sport, for half as long as she did.
Brilliant to see a book about the history of women's swimming make the William Hill Sports Book Of The Year shortlist #RecogniseHer x.com/jennylandreth/…
