As I said, women have always done morris dancing, with or without some official seal of approval.There are records of women morris dancing in Oxfordshire in the 19th century, but it's true that early 20th-century revivalists made it a men-only thing.Last week, they rehearsed with women for the first time at Ide memorial hall in Devon.When they were excluded by the Ring, women simply set up their own teams, seeking recognition where they could find it.A third of the Morris Ring's member sides are now mixed male/female teams, and more than half of Britain's morris dancers are women.
