Happy National Just Because Day. I just discovered this exists and it’s now my new favorite holiday. In honor of the discovery (and the fact that yesterday was National Women’s Equality Day) I thought I’d post some of my favorite pics that are totally unrelated to the usual subject of this blog– just, well, because.
I love these vintage photos of lady boxers I found while doing research for a character I didn’t end up using. Apparently lady boxing was all the rage at the turn of the century.

Looks like the name Hattie was popular with lady boxers

Hattie Stewart was the one to beat.


Another contender

great boxing dresses


Don’t mess with Miss polka-dot shorts.


Someone’s having a bad day.



How staged is this one?

My favorite.
Enjoy your National Just Because Day!
