1904 'KENEALY, Miss Arabella, L.R.C.P. and L.M., the well-known novelist, is a great advocate of motoring for women. Her notable articles "Woman as an Athlete" which appeared in the Nineteenth Century, showed that the modern cry for athletics for women is deteriorative of health and injurious to the race. Miss Kenealy's strenuous stand has done much to stem the tide in this direction. She is an advocate of automobilism for women. The exhilarating, wholesome influences of sun and air, the delight to eye and mind of scenery and nature's beauties are thus obtainable, without that exhausting muscular exertion she deprecates. She is the author "Dr. Janet of Harley Street"; "Woman and the Shadow"; "A semi-detached Marriage"; "The Love of Richard Herrick"; and of many bright, short stories, some of which appear from time to time in Motoring Illustrated. Address: Watford, Herts.' [3]
