Woman's Attire in Sports

705

This lithograph depicts a woman by the name of Sarah Jane Wallager during the 19th century.  The 'bloomers' that she has on  is intentionally longer than they would have been in the 1850's . This allows room for more athletic activities and movements for women that were just being allowed to participate in such activities.
