The topic I found to be most compelling was the discussion regarding women playing Country Club sports, in the form of golf and tennis. Country Club sports provided women with an arena in which they were first able to compete against one another, and gender lines in the sports world slowly diminished as a result. What I found remarkable was not the conception that women were playing golf and tennis, but rather the attire that they were, and still are, required to wear while participating in these sports. The representation of women in skirts has been customary ever since their integration into Country Club sports, and although women today may occasionally be seen wearing pants while playing golf, professional tennis players continue to wear skirts. Despite the fact that the skirts are designed specifically for comfort and breathability while playing the sport, I find it noteworthy that men manage to play tennis while wearing shorts.
