1. Title: "A Stylish and Daring Twenties Sportswoman: Gladyss Peto's Self-Made Hurdling Outfit, 1923" In this photograph, a fashionable young lady named Gladyss Peto confidently stands before the camera, showcasing her self-designed hurdling outfit. The image, captured in 1923, is a captivating blend of style, athleticism, and the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. Gladyss Peto, an accomplished athlete and fashion trailblazer, was known for her innovative approach to sportswear. In this photograph, she proudly displays her self-made hurdling costume, which defied the traditional norms of modesty and femininity in sports. The outfit features a form-fitting jumpsuit, complete with a high waistline, short sleeves, and a daringly low-cut neckline. The suit is held together by a belt at the waist, and the bottom hem is slightly frayed, suggesting that it may have been made from repurposed fabric. The hurdles in the background add to the sense of athleticism and competition, while the lady's confident pose and stylish outfit showcase her unique blend of fashion and sport. The image is a testament to the growing influence of women in sports during the 1920s and the increasing acceptance of more daring and functional fashion for women. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of a stylish and daring sportswoman who defied conventions and paved the way for future generations of athletes and fashion icons. The image is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of women's sports, fashion, and the Roaring Twenties.
