I am finding it surprisingly hard to find much/anything written about the role of women in the early Ramblers' Association and the Right to Roam/rights of way/national parks movements (and in recording footpaths after the 1949 Act). Can anyone point me in the right direction?

For example, it seems that women made up 65% of the early West Riding Ramblers' Federation, which held annual rallies on Ilkley Moor from 1930 onwards, campaigning for what became the 1949 Access to Countryside Act. 4/5ths of the people who founded the Pudsey & District Rambling

Club (which became part of the WRRF) were women. The press were struck by the fact that, of the 2000 at one of the Ilkley rallies, many were "girls in shorts". But all the individuals commemorated for their role in early Right to Roam movements were men.

In 1935 two-thirds of the members of early rambling clubs affiliated to precursors of the @YHAOfficial were women. The Co-operative Holidays Association had to set a limit at two-thirds female membership, to 'give men a chance'. want to know more about these women as individuals!
