I was talking to my hairdresser (!) about Elissa Steamer just Wednesday. She was basically the only girl skater I was aware of in those days. Brilliant that there are so many female and non-binary skaters around these days - feels like a world away from my experience as a skater in the late 90s Home Counties.
It felt like a tipping point after Elissa blew up. Grand Royal ran an article about female skaters. It seemed like things were on the cusp of equalling up.

Also I love The Sundays.
