El deporte femenino sufrió un retroceso importante en línea con el papel de la mujer, circunscrito al ámbito privado de la casa y la familia. La Sección Femenina (SF) contribuyó de manera decisiva a ejercer un control efectivo sobre las p…

The success of the Nordic Game…

In order to do so archive documents and periodicals of that period, in Italy and Spain, as well as the most important sch…
