Dancers Vera Tighe and Tom McKale in a HollinshedDanaher recital Brisbane Queensland 1931

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    These two dancers have very interesting costumes. Most likely some traditional. My research could not reveal much. I would like to know more.
  • Annette Cadell said:
    Interesting that she is wearing heels. I wonder if they are performing a flamenco dance. A Spanish look to the costumes.

    History While not being urged to avoid competition, women had few opportunities to compete in a sport in Australia until the 1880s. After that date, new sporting facilities were being built around the country and many new sports clubs were created.[1] Boxing classes were being offered to women in Australia by 1892, at locations such as the Brisbane Gymnasium on Turbot Street, close to the city's railway station.[2] While classes may have been offered for women, serious training was not permitted for women by the 1900s and women were banned from pursuing the sport in a competitive way. Women were also barred from attending boxing matches.[3] New South Wales is the only Australian state to have banned women's boxing, having prohibited it from 1986 to 2009.[4] Women's boxing was resumed in NSW with an exhibition fight between Kaye Scott and Ramona Stephenson in October 2009.[5] Women's boxing was only legalized in Queensland in 2000.[6] Source: www.wikiwand.com/en/Women%27s_boxing_in_Australia
