Women athletes have had to overcome what society dictates

The legendary “Babe” Didrikson Zaharias, who mastered many a sport and competed alongside

men in golf, finally succumbed to wearing makeup and dresses so that society would deem her

“feminine.”

In the 1992 Olympic Games, Algerian middle-distance runner Hassiba Boulmerka received death

threats – not support – from some people in her country. They objected to the Muslim woman

running in the track and field competition dressed in shorts and a sleeveless top. She should cover

herself, they said and not run with naked legs in front of thousands of men. Hassiba replied she was

an athlete and was appropriately dressed for the competitions.

It has been a long hard struggle for women. When the modern Olympic Games started in 1896,

there were no women athletes. Four years later, at the Paris Olympics, Charlotte Cooper became the

first woman to win a gold medal (in tennis). By the 1996 Olympics, the number of women athletes

competing in those games increased by 36 percent; unfortunately, today men still outnumber women

by at least two to one in the Olympic Games.

In the United States opportunities for girls and women to participate in high school and college

sports were few until the passage of the Title IX legislation in 1972. Title IX prohibited gender

discrimination in federally funded schools and universities. However, progress was slowed by the

entrenched practices of schools and colleges dominated by male athletic programs and the Supreme

Court’s 1984 Grove City decision, which weakened the law. Then, in 1998, athletes such as Flo

Hyman (winner of a silver medal in volleyball in the 1984 Olympics) and Wilma Rudolph (1960

Olympic gold medal winner in track) lobbied with activists to pass the Civil Rights Restoration Act.

That act ensured that girls and women would not be discriminated against in high school and college

athletic programs. Today in the U.S. over one-third of all female students in high school play sports,

and the number of women participating in university sports has tripled.

Women now compete in almost every sport, whether the competition is team, individual, or

mixed gender. There are thousands of women athletes worldwide. The following vignettes of

women athletes span different sports and time periods. Each worked hard to become the best athlete

she could be.
