Riding for Ladies: With Hints on the Stable - A Victorian Guide to Equestrian Empowerment and Horse Care

Power O'Donoghue

Beschreibung

In "Riding for Ladies: With Hints on the Stable," Mrs. Power O'Donoghue presents a pioneering guide for women seeking to navigate the world of horseback riding and equestrian care. Written during the late 19th century, a time when women's participation in such sports was limited, this book combines practical advice on riding techniques with insights into the equine management. O'Donoghue's approachable yet authoritative prose offers a unique perspective, seamlessly merging her instructional intent with narratives that evoke the contemporary cultural shifts surrounding women's roles, thereby enriching the literary context of the piece. Mrs. Power O'Donoghue was herself an advocate for women'Äôs sports and empowerment, an ethos that strongly permeates her writing. Her experiences and deep understanding of equestrianism stem from both her personal passion and a desire to elevate women's positions in sports traditionally dominated by men. By addressing the technical aspects of riding alongside societal expectations, she lays the groundwork for future generations of female equestrians, thereby asserting their rightful place in this historically male-centric domain. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in equestrian pursuits, women's history, or sporting literature. It not only serves as an informative manual for aspiring riders but also as an inspiring testament to the resilience and evolving identity of women in sports. O'Donoghue's engaging narrative and practical insights make "Riding for Ladies" an essential addition to the libraries of enthusiasts and scholars alike.

Red on Red: Liverpool Manchester...

Phil McNulty, Jim White

The untold story of the most contested fixture in world football
‘A must read.’ Henry Winter
'Superb.' Daniel Taylor
Liverpool and Manchester. Two gloriously independent-minded, eclectic, culturally vibrant places. Yet the inhabitants dislike each other with a passion that is visceral. It is a divide that spans generations, across class, gender and ethnicity. And it has grown over the years, largely driven by one thing: football.
The dark, malignant loathing shared by the followers of Liverpool and Manchester United has seeped into every aspect of life in the two cities. Football is not a barometer of disdain, as it is in places like Glasgow or Istanbul or Moscow. In northwest England, it is the engine of animosity.
How did it come to this? Why did things turn so nasty? And what does it say about the two cities in which the clubs are based?
Written by a Scouser and a Manc in a rare collaboration, Red on Red addresses the divide by talking to those involved in ten seminal football matches. It speaks to the characters who patrolled and provoked the rivalry: Alex Ferguson, Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard and Gary Neville, among many others. Also questioned are the fans, the administrators, the referees, the police, and politicians. And through each legendary game, its authors tell the full story of the most extraordinary division not just in football, but in modern Britain.
This is Red on Red, a rivalry like no other.
Phil McNulty's Red on Red is a top pick for anyone interested in the sociology of sports, particularly the history of 20th century soccer. The book explores the best and worst moments of the rivalry, providing a comprehensive understanding of its impact on the cities of Liverpool and Manchester.
For fans of Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Adrenaline), Jonathan Wilson (The Barcelona Legacy), Gary Neville (The People's Game), Rhys Richards (Blood on the Crossbar), and Shareef Abdallah (The King Takes Over).
