It is hard not to suspect this was, at least in part, a defensive move made by male officials who felt threatened by the success of their female counterparts. And so the women’s game was allowed to wither on the vine, missing out on half a century of development while the men’s leagues established ever stronger roots.</span></blockquote> <p><span><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/sep/10/england-womens-football-team" target="_blank">English Football: when women ruled the pitch</a></span></p> <p><i><span> </span></i></p> <p><i> <div></div> </i></p> </blockquote>http://roaringtwenties.tumblr.com/post/184299766http://roaringtwenties.tumblr.com/post/184299766Thu, 10 Sep 2009 13:51:06 +0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kppqncw0YA1qzdzxjo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Edgar Franklin Wittmack, <i>The Flirt</i>.</p> <p><a href="http://www.americanillustrators.com/artist.php?id=9998&pastexhib=16" target="_blank">via</a></p>http://roaringtwenties.tumblr.com/post/183770443http://roaringtwenties.tumblr.com/post/183770443Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:47:35 +0800paintingspaintingart1920svintage<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kppqesnDcq1qzdzxjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Louise Brooks</p> <p><a href="http://zanshin3d.net/vintage/louise_brooks/Annex%20-%20Brooks,%20Louise_39.jpg" target="_blank">via</a></p>http://roaringtwenties.tumblr.com/post/183767136http://roaringtwenties.tumblr.com/post/183767136Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:42:27 +0800louise brooksactressvintage1920shollywood<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kppdi5RMer1qzdzxjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Bathing beauties.</p> <p><a href="http://ffffound.com/image/8085987c57fa243630044b31f4e31f0e9dcabacc?c=3799935" target="_blank">via</a></p>http://roaringtwenties.tumblr.com/post/183616059http://roaringtwenties.tumblr.com/post/183616059Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:03:41 +08001920svintagebeachdancers
