Book excerpt: Women's cricket has long been a neglected area of sports writing. This may have been understandable in the early and middle part of the last century, when women's cricket existed in a twilight world, regarded as a sporting occupation for ladies who could perhaps be most tactfully described as unconventional. This book traces the history of the women's game from the beginning, when ladies made their first mark in cricket in the late 18th century amid frantic betting and rowdy crowd scenes, before detailing the achievements the 21st century heroines.
