On an April morning in 1896, unemployed single mother Stamata
Revithi ran the 40 kilometers from Marathon to Athens, finishing in
5 hours 30 minutes. Barred from the first Olympic marathon, she was
determined to prove herself. Through more than a century of Olympic
Games history, women athletes who were held back from swimming
because long skirts were required, limited to running single-lap
races because of fallacies about fragility or forced to endure
invasive gender exams competed in spite of endless challenges and
denials of their abilities. From Athens 1896 to Tokyo 2020, this
history of women's participation in the Olympic Games centers on
athletes who overcame entrenched inequity to gain inclusion.
