“For the Most Part, The Team Was Given Hospitality of The Most Lavish Sort”: Women’s Hockey, Brooklands and Aspects of Empire

Abstract

This chapter looks at how different aspects of imperial identity were explored and developed through women's hockey and female racing motorists at Brooklands. Crucial to the imperial project was a degree of lavish hospitality, travel and movement. The chapter explores the lives of key women through their sporting interests and the remainder of their lives.
