If Richmond’s Women Were There All Along, Why Did We Remember Them as Curiosities?
We've just dropped another deep dive feature called If Richmond’s Women Were There All Along, Why Did We Remember Them as Curiosities? on rtssg.com.
The women are already in Richmond’s records: as members, voters, players, organisers, fundraisers, publicans, hosts and supporters. What disappears is the habit of seeing those records as one larger Richmond story.
The question Tiger supporters should be asking is simple: if women kept appearing inside Richmond life across decades, why did football history remember each appearance as a curiosity instead of recognising the pattern?
The feature connects 695 lady members, women voting through a separate polling door, Aggie Holliday and the 1923 Tigresses, the Second Eighteen ladies’ committee, the £1,111 Queen Competition, Monica Manzie, Elsie Schofield, Gwen Howard and Jack Dyer’s own complicated relationship with women’s football.
