| | Observer | How Lottie started rise of the hem |
 | | Lottie Dod provided the first of the rare instances of a sportswoman appealing to wear sexier gear without being prompted by an agent, PR man or Sun photographer - and our picture gives just the tiniest clue why. |
 | | Dod, from Bebington, Cheshire, and known as the 'Little Wonder', was uniquely qualified to lead a down-with-dress-fascism campaign on behalf of all sportswomen given her ability in a range of activities. |
 | | All right, Dod was allowed a 30-0 start in each game, but swaddled up as she was that must have made things just about even. |
