Many years ago, British magazines on female boxing and wrestling were extremely popular and prolific. The publishing companies are no longer in business, and our new friends and fans of the sport may have missed out on these iconic publications.
One of the very first was Women Wrestling. A number of issues were published, but here we offer for you the premiere issue, which features a exciting articles, fiction, and photos. From the table of contents:
• No Easy Way to the Championship (Chiyo Obata vs Mari Akagi)
• The Lure of the Mat Game
• Monthly Hold - Leg Spread Submission
• Eyewitness Account (18th Century Fight)
• Profile: Sue Brittain
• Fiction: Gym Bout
• Boxing: Vicky Montrose vs Sue Brittain
... and more!
This is not just a series of scanned images as with most magazine archives, but a lovingly remastered edition. Text was scanned and proofed and remains as text, providing clear reading on almost any device. Images sometimes suffer from earlier "matte" pages (i.e. newsprint) due to ink absorbtion irregularities, and yellowing pages, but we've tried to make them as bright and enjoyable as possible.
All we have omitted is a few out-of-date ads; otherwise the complete articles and images are presented.
Please let us know if you'd like us to offer more.
Offered as 12 MB Print Ready (300 dpi) PDF file, 37 B&W pages plus color cover.
