ATHLETES FEATURED IN THE BOOK:
​
Victress: Women who paved the way in Australian Sport
Corinne Hall & Michael Randall


​Victress: Women who paved the way in Australian Sport is an ode to some of Australia’s most cherished female athletes who, not just through achievements in their chosen sport, but through their unwavering conviction and commitment to women’s sport, blazed a trail for their sisterhood. 

From legends like Dawn Fraser and Cathy Freeman, to the new breed of powerful sportswomen like Ellyse Perry and Tayla Harris, each athlete is honoured thanks to Hobart Hurricanes Women’s Big Bash League cricketer Corinne Hall’s unique artistic talents. Inspired by these incredible women, Corinne takes readers on a journey into the lives of each athlete through her stunning drawings and her authentic tales.

From personal interactions with the athletes, to recalling where she was when watching some of the iconic events that made them household names, Corinne provides a fresh but relatable perspective on how each has left an indelible mark on the exponential growth of sport for women. 

“I started thinking about all those pioneers, the [female] athletes who paved the way for future generations through their own sacrifice and dedication to their sport, despite receiving little or no remuneration or acknowledgment,” Corinne said. “The athlete’s graceful and enthusiastic response to being included in the book highlighted what an extremely supportive sporting landscape we have for women in Australia. One woman’s success is very much every woman’s success.”

Kindness is key for Corinne, who has ensured funds from the book will be directed back into grassroots women’s cricket, along with helping charitable organisation, The Kindness Factory, spread its positive message.  In keeping with the kindness theme, athletes have provided their own stories of kindness, unearthing the special role simple acts have played in their lives.

Recommendations

There are few aspects of the publishing industry that Rachael McDiarmid hasn’t thought about in her career in books and publishing. I had the benefit of her insights as a colleague at Frankfurt Book Fair over a number of years, and trusted her to give me advice about our interest in finding meaningful direct contact with libraries and schools, an entirely new area for UWA Publishing. I would have followed up with additional small projects at the time had Rachael not moved into a new position in publishing. Back out in her own right again, I thoroughly recommend her for her insights and intelligent analysis. Rachael is trustworthy and smart, and thus a great asset to those of us working in the publishing trade."
