Karen Wiltshire’s story highlights the challenges faced by women in the male-dominated world of horse racing during the 1970s. After enduring physical assault and sexual harassment, she persevered to become the first professional female jockey to win a race in British Flat racing. Her experiences of misogyny and bullying are captured in her new biography, ‘No Place For a Girl,’ illustrating the stark evolution of attitudes towards women in sports. Wiltshire’s determination not only paved her way but also opened doors for future generations of female athletes.
