Women’s
Bridge on WBF Web-site : Anna Maria Torlontano,
Chairman of the WBF Women’s Committee, informs us
that they have launched a special area for Women’s
Bridge on the WBF web-site. Information about the Committee
is there, and, to launch the venture, biographies of three
of the top female players – Rixi Markus, by Patrick
Jourdain; Dorothy Truscott, by Alan Truscott and an autobiography
of Sabine Auken. The Women’s Committee is very proud
of this idea which they feel gives increased exposure
to women players, while promoting and contributing to
the development of women’s bridge in general (Source
