Women's Cricket in The Ladybird Story of Cricket

The picture below is from a book called The Story of Cricket. It was part of a run of kids 'finding out' books published by a company called Ladybird, covering everything from technology to sports; and in the 60s and 70s no self-respecting, middle-class family bookshelf would be seen without a few titles in the series!

Cool - women playing cricket! 

And [redacted] (ahem!) years later... here I am!
