This volume of the Sports She Wrote series features 139 articles written by women about fishing in the 19th century, proving the significant contributions of women anglers in the Victorian era. Sara McBride, renowned for her knowledge of the attraction between fish and insects, is prominently featured, including her seminal work on the metaphysics of fishing. McBride's artistic mastery and business acumen in the fly-tying industry are highlighted, underscoring women's proficiency in this field. Following McBride's articles, 25 women authors, including Mary Orvis Marbury, chronicle their fishing adventures, offering insights into angling for trout, bass, salmon, muskies, and more, in such diverse locales as Norway, Syria, California, Florida and Iowa. The latter half of the book pays homage to Cornelia T. Crosby, aka "Fly Rod" Crosby, Maine's esteemed fisherwoman. Divided into two parts, her articles span from 1884 to 1900, showcasing her adventurous spirit and profound impact on fishing, hunting, and conservation efforts in Maine. Crosby's legacy as a trailblazing outdoorswoman and promoter of field sports endures as a testament to her indomitable spirit. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 400 women in the 19th century.
