Dipsea Hike for Women
Description:
The fourth annual Dipsea Girls' Hike drew an astonishing number of competitors, wearing costumes that would have been unthinkable
ten years earlier. World War I, the 19th Amendment, and bobbed hair had liberated women to a remarkable degree. But the
event was discontinued the following year, according to Dipsea historian Mark Reese, because of clergymen's worries about
the morality of hiking costumes, and physicians' concern about excessive stress on women's bodies. Women were not permitted
to enter the regular Dipsea until 1971. The photo is a panoramic view of hundreds of participants and male onlookers lined
up in front of the train depot ready for the start of the hike.
