Summary "Lawn Tennis for Ladies" by Mrs. Lambert Chambers is a comprehensive guide on the sport of lawn tennis written in the early 20th century. This instructional work not only provides readers with techniques and strategies for improving their game but also emphasizes the benefits of athletics for women, challenging societal views on femininity and sport. The text is steeped in a sense of enthusiasm for lawn tennis, indicating that it addresses both novice players and those seeking to refine their skills. At the start of the book, the author expresses her belief in the transformative power of athletics for modern women, particularly highlighting the positive effects of lawn tennis on both physical health and mental well-being. She rebuts common objections raised against women participating in sports, suggesting that such activities enhance, rather than diminish, womanliness. Additionally, she provides foundational knowledge on practice techniques, emphasizing the importance of developing weak strokes, and highlights various aspects of the game, including match play, tactics, and physical training. Overall, the opening establishes Mrs. Chambers as an advocate for women's sports, aiming to inspire a love for lawn tennis among her readers while equipping them with the tools needed for success in the game.
