In this book it has been published the 7-years of research work, aiming to rescue from oblivion the Galician women who were precursors in sports practice.
Through its pages, we are able to get closer to a little-known part of our history. Since the end of XIX century, Galician women practiced several physical activities that nowadays are considered sports. An overview through some of these practices is done here, trying to retrieve the memory of their main characters and illustrating the text with pictures that allow us to insight into the studied reality.
The variety of modalities that has been analysed in this manual also takes into account the women diversity that approached to physical practices from different contexts and aims. The book proves that in Galicia these women were pioneers and they played a fundamental role for contemporaneous sport history, therefore, for a new model of woman who claimed her rights.
