From the back cover:
Female surfers played a vital role in the
sport's Polynesian pre-history. The situation changed in the 20th century,
and female surfers found their influence reduced--for the most part--to
decoration and novelty. The first crack in this picture appeared in 1967
when the Western Surfing Association created a new 4A division for
"professionally-oriented super stars." A precursor of today's elite world
tour, the women's division showcased child star Margo Godfrey, who carved
her way straight through to the World Title at age 15. Margo set the stage
for future generations of women surfers. Names like Rell Sunn, Jericho
Poppler, and Lynn Boyer became fixtures in the surfing press. Today, through
the efforts of Lisa Anderson, Rochelle Ballard, Layne Beachley, and Keala
Kennelly, women are reclaiming their rightful place in elite lineups the
world over. One of the 21st century's most obvious surfing trends is the
explosion of females at beaches everywhere. We explore all of the above in
this edition of The Surfer's Journal.
