Hy Money recalls facing a range of insulting comments when she entered the male-dominated press rooms in the 1970s, reflecting the challenges many women faced in professional sports journalism.
Despite the initial denial of her National Union of Journalists pass due to a petition by 40 men, Hy Money's determination led her to become the first accredited female sports photographer in the UK.
Her journey began after taking her son to a Crystal Palace match, prompting her to pursue a career in sports photography, which was fraught with sexism and resistance.
Even after gaining some access, Hy Money encountered significant barriers at venues like Wembley, showcasing the ongoing struggles women faced in gaining recognition in sports media.
