EDITORS COMMENTS
A Thrilling Pastime for the Modern Edwardian Woman: Roller Skating, 1910 In this image from the front cover of the Femina magazine in 1910, an Edwardian woman gracefully glides on roller skates that fit over her ordinary shoes. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the sport's growing popularity among women during this era. The woman's attire is a perfect blend of style and practicality. She wears a long, elegant coat with a fur collar, keeping her warm while she enjoys her skating adventure. A fashionable hat adorned with plumes sits atop her head, adding a touch of sophistication to her outfit. The roller skate straps, fastened securely around her ankles, are adorned with elegant straps that complement her clothing rather than detracting from it. Roller skating was a daring and exciting pastime for women during the Edwardian period. The sport offered a sense of freedom and independence, allowing ladies to experience the thrill of gliding across smooth surfaces with ease and grace. The roller skates, which could be worn over ordinary shoes, made it a convenient and accessible activity for women of all social classes. This photograph is a testament to the evolving role of women in society during the early 20th century. As they embraced new experiences and challenged traditional norms, fashion continued to play a significant role in expressing their individuality and independence. Roller skating, with its combination of style and excitement, was just one of many ways women asserted their place in a rapidly changing world.
