Title
'In the Women's Sportlight' : une étude des chroniques sportives de Myrtle Cook dans le Montreal Daily Star, 1929-1930
Abstract
An examination of the articles written in the Montreal Star by sports journalist and Olympic gold medalist Myrtle Cook (1902-1985) between April 1929 and March 1930. Cook used her columns in the newspaper to promote the development of female sports in Montreal, especially in high level competition, and to challenge the prevailing view of experts that sought to circumscribe, and even prohibit, access to strenuous sports by women.
