Women's Olympiad in Monte Carlo

In the early 1920s, women's sports struggled with cultural stereotypes as well as medical prescriptions. Monaco gave women athletes a vital boost by hosting the Women's Olympiad from 1921 to 1923. Richly illustrated, the book brings this period to life with portraits of the participants and images of athletic prowess. Monaco has now been recognized as a stepping-stone in women's access to the Olympic Games.
