C.N. 5690

"While in Constantinople, Lady Thomas was the only lady who rode about unattended into the country, and she never met with any molestation, though, as a precaution, she had a pocket made to her saddle to carry a revolver."

Oct-14-19  Caissanist: Does anyone know if the 1895 Hastings Ladies' Tournament was the first women's tournament? I don't know of any earlier ones myself.
