EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph of Marion Hollins (1892-1944), taken in 1913 by renowned photographer George Graham Bain, captures a trailblazing athlete at the height of her powers. As both a skilled horsewoman and golf champion, Hollins was an anomaly among women's sports during this era. Her impressive credentials on the polo field earned her recognition as one of the best female riders in America. In this striking black-and-white print, Hollins exudes confidence and poise, dressed in riding attire with a gleaming smile that hints at her competitive spirit. The photograph not only showcases her athletic prowess but also reflects the societal changes taking place during World War I. As women's roles expanded beyond domestic duties, athletes like Marion Hollins paved the way for future generations. This historic image is more than just a portrait of an exceptional athlete; it represents a moment in time when female sports were gaining momentum and recognition. The photograph has been preserved by Bain News Service as part of their extensive archive, providing us with a unique glimpse into the lives of pioneering women who broke barriers in the world of sports.
