Lawn Tennis for Ladies By: Mrs. Lambert Chambers (1878-1960)
Lawn Tennis for Ladies by Mrs. Lambert Chambers is an extraordinary guide that caters specifically to women who have a passion for tennis. Mrs. Lambert Chambers' expertise in the field is evident throughout the book, as she delves into various essential aspects of the game, providing valuable insights and advice. One of the book's most apparent strengths is the clarity with which Mrs. Lambert Chambers explains and breaks down the technical aspects of the sport. From the proper grip and stance to mastering the different strokes, she leaves no stone unturned. Her explanations are thorough yet concise, making it easy even for beginners to grasp the concepts. What sets this book apart from others on the subject is its emphasis on the specific challenges that women face in tennis. Mrs. Lambert Chambers understands the physical differences and unique strengths of female players, and she tailors her advice accordingly. For instance, she offers tips on how to harness power and control despite potentially having less upper body strength than their male counterparts. This focus on female empowerment adds a refreshing angle to the book. In addition to technical guidance, Mrs. Lambert Chambers also delves into the mental and emotional aspects of the game.

These valuable insights go beyond the mere physicality of tennis and equip readers with tools to enhance their overall performance on the court. Furthermore, the book includes numerous illustrations and diagrams that beautifully complement the text. These visuals help reinforce the instructions and enable readers to visualize the techniques being described. The clear and straightforward language combined with the visual aids make the content incredibly accessible, regardless of the reader's prior knowledge of tennis. While Lawn Tennis for Ladies is undoubtedly a comprehensive guide, some readers may find parts of it slightly dated. Published in the early 20th century, certain aspects, such as specific fashion recommendations or the cultural context surrounding women's tennis at the time, may not be entirely applicable today. However, this could also be seen as an intriguing glimpse into the sport's evolution over time. Overall, Lawn Tennis for Ladies stands as a testament to Mrs. Lambert Chambers' expertise, passion, and commitment to empowering women in the world of tennis. From its clear explanations to its tailored advice, this book serves as an invaluable resource for any woman looking to improve her game.

PREFACE

As a rule an author writes a preface to explain or to apologize for a book. I shall do neither: I have tried to explain my meaning simply and clearly in the book itself, and I am optimistic enough to think that my favourite game is too popular to require an apology for increasing its literature, however unpretentious the attempt may be. Moreover, I am still too much affected by the "brilliant and feverish glow" of enthusiasm to dream of offering one.

Two things only I wish to say. First, that I am writing with no academic pride, but only with a passionate fondness for what I consider a great sport, and with a keen desire to make others equally devoted. Secondly, I should like to thank all those who have assisted me with suggestions and the loan of photographs, especially my "arena colleagues" who have rallied round me so graphically in the last chapter.
