This project will produce a collective biography of women who have represented England at the 41 Wembley international matches between 1951 and 1991, at the Women's Hockey World Cup between 1974 and 2014 and as part of Team GB at the Olympic Games from 1980 to 2016. Research will include collected oral histories of England International players from 1951 to the 2016 Olympics and, where appropriate, their family members and the administrators, medical and coaching staff who enabled the players to travel on behalf of their national teams. This is significant because women's work as national representatives of England and, at the Olympic Games as Team GB, used to be amateur but is now increasingly professional. This chronology evidences women's improved specialisation as elite players and a consequent broader public recognition, as shown by the gold medal in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.The initiation of this research is very timely and topical with many of the earlier post-World War 2 representative players now elderly or deceased. Importantly, international women's hockey developed as part of the All England Women's Hockey Association since 1895; as part of the International Hockey Federation (FIH) since 1924 and as part of professional league competition beginning at about the same time. As several commentators have indicated, although ostensibly led by key female administrators, women's hockey has long been supported by significant male administrators, coaches, medical and coaching staff as well as the family and friends of representative players.Particular research questions include, who are the women who have appeared as international representatives since 1951? What have been their social origins, class, age, education and sexuality? How has their experience changed with the change from amateur to professional? What have been the politics of women's relationship with male coaches and administrators? How have their experiences of different tournaments and touring shaped their perception of representative competition? How important have family and friendship networks been in sustaining hockey careers?

该项目将为1951年至1991年代表英格兰参加41场温布利国际比赛、1974年至2014年参加女子曲棍球世界杯、1980年至2016年作为英国队成员参加奥运会的女性写一本集体传记。研究将包括从1951年到2016年奥运会期间收集的英格兰国际球员的口述历史，并在适当的情况下，包括他们的家庭成员以及使球员能够代表他们的国家队旅行的管理人员、医疗和教练人员。这一点意义重大，因为女性作为英格兰国家队代表的工作，以及在奥运会上作为英国队的工作，过去都是业余的，但现在越来越专业。这一年表证明了女性作为精英运动员的专业化程度的提高，以及随之而来的更广泛的公众认可，就像2016年里约奥运会的金牌所表明的那样。这项研究的启动非常及时，而且是非常热门的，因为许多二战后早期的代表性运动员现在已经年事已高或已经去世。重要的是，自1895年以来，国际女子曲棍球作为全英格兰女子曲棍球协会的一部分发展起来；自1924年以来，作为国际曲棍球联合会(FIH)的一部分，并作为大约在同一时间开始的职业联赛的一部分。正如几位评论员指出的那样，尽管表面上由关键的女性管理者领导，但女子曲棍球长期以来一直得到重要的男性管理者、教练、医务和教练人员以及有代表性的球员的家人和朋友的支持。特别的研究问题包括，自1951年以来以国际代表的身份出现的女性是谁？他们的社会出身、阶级、年龄、教育程度和性取向是什么？他们的经历随着从业余到专业的转变而发生了怎样的变化？女性与男性教练和管理者之间的政治关系是什么？他们在不同的赛事和巡回赛中的经历如何塑造了他们对代表性比赛的看法？家庭和友谊网络在维持曲棍球职业生涯方面有多重要？
