“I hereby declare the first female Olympic Games open"

These were the words of Alice Milliat, founder of the International Women’s Sports Federation (Fédération Sportive Féminine Internationale), in 1922 - 2 years before the Olympics were held in Paris. The Jeux Olympiques Féminins featured 5 teams - USA, Great Britain, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia and host country France, 11 athletics events and a 20,000 strong crowd.

In 1919, Milliat had asked the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to include women's track and field events in the 1924 Olympic Games, but they had refused. She then helped to organize the 1921 Women's Olympiad in Monte Carlo, as a response to the refusal to include women's events in the Olympics.

Angered by the use of the term 'Olympic Games', the IOC convinced Milliat to change the name of their event in exchange for adding 10 women's events to the 1928 Olympics, and so the next event held in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1926, was termed the Women's World Games. Two more World Games were held in Prague in 1930 and in London in 1934 (eventually expanded to 30 teams). At this point Milliat issued an ultimatum: fully integrate the 1936 Olympics, or cede all women's participation to the FSFI. This signaled the end of The Women's Games.

Her Legacy? This summer’s Olympics will be the first with an equal number of male and female athletes.
