This site is dedicated to women sporting pioneers, many of whom are Olympians. The year 2000 marked the centenary of the official participation of women in the Olympics. These women, and their achievements, are celebrated on this website. 32 women from 10 different countries who competed in the Olympic Games pre World War Two, shared their first hand memories in the book, ‘A Proper Spectacle’, written by Stephanie Daniels and Anita Tedder. Some of their stories are included on this website. |
