Background
[edit]The Women's Professional Snooker Championship was held ten times between 1934 and 1950, with no tournaments staged between 1941 and 1947. Ruth Harrison won eight of those ten events.[4] The Women's World Open, first held in 1976, is recognised as the beginning of the modern World Women's Snooker Championship.[5][6] English player Reanne Evans holds the record for the most wins, having won 12 titles, including ten consecutive victories from 2005 to 2014.[7][8]
