A sporting legend, all but forgotten, now brought to life
Alice Milliat (1884–1957) shares the fate of women sporting greats, their legacies are lost among all the male histories. Thus, Nancy Gillen’s biography La Vie Jamais Racontée: Alice Milliat, a French Heroine and Sporting Suffragette (Pitch Publishing) is a welcome contribution to the growing body of women sport history. In her review for idrottsforum.org, Katie Taylor notes that it is a readable and accessible book, aimed at a general readership and also beneficial for academic scholars despite the lack of references.
