Lois Quarrell
Lois Quarrell (1915 – 1991) was a pioneering sports journalist in South Australia who raised the profile of women’s sports from the mid-1930s until her retirement in 1970. She worked to legitimise women’s sports in a time when there was societal trend to trivialise it.
==Early career==
She began her work as a journalist at age 17, in 1932 and began sports writing in 1936. She was one of the first female sports journalists in Australia; one of three in the nation in the 1930s and the first to write for ''The Advertiser'', Adelaide’s daily newspaper.〔
Quarrells’ work regularly identified and recognised the skill of South Australia’s early pioneers in women’s sport including Australian representatives Mabel Cashmore and Evelyn Tazewell in hockey, Netballers Gwen Rankin and Lorna Ryan, Cricketers Dot Laughton and Barbara Orchard and the state’s first female Olympian, swimmer Denise Norton. Her column regularly covered a wide range of sports including table tennis, softball, cricket, hockey, netball, tennis, sailing, surf life saving, equestrian and rowing. In an age without digital technology, Quarrell rode her bike to sporting events across Adelaide to watch and report on them.〔
Quarrell contributed a half-page column in ''The Advertiser'' from 1936 devoted entirely to women in sport; their issues, skill and achievements, often in the face of crushing societal criticism of their natural ability and their expected roles. She use influence in the media to encourage women to be involved in sports and to administer their own sporting organisations. She strongly argued for the inclusion of 'games' for girls in the school curriculum, against opposition who believed that girls playing sport would rob them of their femininity. Other issues she created debate about through her work in the media and involvement in sports administration within the state included sport and motherhood, the restrictions of sports uniforms on participation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/people/714068 )〕
