The usually excellent Observer Sport Monthly published its "Women's Issue" on Sunday 6th May.
But where were the squash players?
The magazine featured women from many different sports - including minority sports - contrasting their fortunes and focussing on British talent.
While the badminton Olympic silver medallist Gail Emms and gymnast Beth Tweddle (amongst many others) both posed for a portrait, there was no word on women's squash (or the success of Britain's women in the professional game).
This is especially disappointing, given that, in the May 2007 rankings, there are 7 British women in the world top 20.
How many British sports can claim that?
