Allen Baseball Bloomer Girls In Action 1912 Real Photo Postcard

The Bloomer Girls were semi-professional women's baseball teams prominent in the United States from the 1890s through the 1930s. Named after the reform dress championed by Amelia Bloomer, their attire—typically knickerbockers or bloomers worn under skirts or dresses—represented a radical departure from conventional women's fashion and allowed for greater freedom of movement in sports. These teams often barnstormed across the country, playing against local men's teams and drawing large crowds.
