O knihe
Ladies First by Ashley Morrison is a compelling account of the remarkable journey undertaken by the Australian women's hockey team at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. These 16 women secured Australia's first Olympic Gold Medal in Hockey and clinched the nation's first Gold Medal for a team sport. Yet, despite their incredible feat, their achievements have faded into relative obscurity over time compared with other Gold Medal winners. Morrison delves into the intriguing question of why this team, despite their groundbreaking success, has been largely overlooked by history. Set against the backdrop of one of the last 'amateur' Games, the story raises questions about the shifting landscape of sports and the challenges female athletes face in gaining recognition for their accomplishments. Through heartfelt storytelling, Ladies First shines a light on these trailblazing women who etched their names into Australia's sporting history and were the pioneers for the team we now know as the 'Hockeyroos', ensuring their legacy is not forgotten.
