participation in <a href="/wiki/1900_Summer_Olympics" title="1900 Summer Olympics">1900</a>. Some sports are uniquely for women, others are contested by both sexes, while some older sports remain for men only. Studies of media coverage of the Olympics consistently show differences in the ways in which women and men are described and the ways in which their performances are discussed. The representation of women on the <a href="/wiki/International_Olympic_Committee" title="International Olympic Committee">International Olympic Committee</a> has historically run well behind the rate of female participation, and long missed its target of a 20% minimum presence of women on their committee. As of 2023, 41.1% of members are women. The 2024 Paris Olympics were notable for being the first to have the goal of achieving gender parity between men and women.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History_of_women_at_the_Olympics">History of women at the Olympics</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Participation_of_women_in_the_Olympics&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History of women at the Olympics">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1900">1900</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Participation_of_women_in_the_Olympics&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: 1900">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Charlotte_cooper_sterry_2.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Charlotte_cooper_sterry_2.jpg/88px-Charlotte_cooper_sterry_2.jpg" decoding="async" width="88" height="130" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Charlotte_cooper_sterry_2.jpg/132px-Charlotte_cooper_sterry_2.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Charlotte_cooper_sterry_2.jpg/176px-Charlotte_cooper_sterry_2.jpg 2x" data-file-width="435" data-file-height="643" /></a><figcaption>Charlotte Cooper</figcaption></figure> The first modern Olympic Games to feature female athletes was the <a href="/wiki/1900_Summer_Olympics" title="1900 Summer Olympics">1900 Games</a> in Paris.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> <a href="/wiki/H%C3%A9l%C3%A8ne_de_Pourtal%C3%A8s" title="Hélène de Pourtalès">Hélène de Pourtalès</a> of Switzerland became the first woman to compete at the Olympic Games and became the first female Olympic champion, as a member of the winning team in the first <a href="/wiki/Sailing_at_the_1900_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_1_to_2_ton" title="Sailing at the 1900 Summer Olympics – 1 to 2 ton">1 to 2 ton</a> sailing event on May 22, 1900.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> Briton <a href="/wiki/Charlotte_Cooper_(tennis)" title="Charlotte Cooper (tennis)">Charlotte Cooper</a> became the first female individual champion by winning the <a href="/wiki/Tennis_at_the_1900_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women%27s_singles" title="Tennis at the 1900 Summer Olympics – Women's singles">women's singles tennis competition</a> on July 11.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> Tennis and golf were the only sports where women could compete in individual disciplines. 22 women competed at the 1900 Games, 2.2% of all the competitors.<a href="#cite_note-:0-7">[7]</a> Alongside sailing, golf and tennis, women also competed in <a href="/wiki/Croquet" title="Croquet">croquet</a>. <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Margaret_Abbott_golf_event_1900_Olympic_Games.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/04/Margaret_Abbott_golf_event_1900_Olympic_Games.png/220px-Margaret_Abbott_golf_event_1900_Olympic_Games.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="140" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/04/Margaret_Abbott_golf_event_1900_Olympic_Games.png/330px-Margaret_Abbott_golf_event_1900_Olympic_Games.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/04/Margaret_Abbott_golf_event_1900_Olympic_Games.png/440px-Margaret_Abbott_golf_event_1900_Olympic_Games.png 2x" data-file-width="1450" data-file-height="925" /></a><figcaption>Margaret Abbott plays in the 1900 Olympic Games women's golf event in Compiegne, France.</figcaption></figure> There were several firsts in the women's golf.

In 1990, <a href="/wiki/Flor_Isava_Fonseca" title="Flor Isava Fonseca">Flor Isava Fonseca</a> became the first woman elected to the executive board of the IOC. The first American woman member of the IOC was <a href="/wiki/Anita_DeFrantz" title="Anita DeFrantz">Anita DeFrantz</a>, who became a member in 1986<a href="#cite_note-SharpKathleen-156">[153]</a> and in 1992 began chairing the prototype of the <a href="/wiki/Softball_at_the_Summer_Olympics#Inclusion_on_the_Olympic_programme" title="Softball at the Summer Olympics">IOC Commission on Women in Sport</a>. DeFrantz not only worked towards promoting gender equality in sports, but she also wanted to move toward gender equality in the IOC so women could be equally represented. She believed that without equal representation in the IOC that women's voices would not get an equal chance to be heard. She was instrumental in creating a new IOC policy that required the IOC membership to be composed of at least 20 percent women by 2005.<a href="#cite_note-SharpKathleen-156">[153]</a> She also commissioned a study conducted in 1989 and again in 1994 that focused on the difference between televised coverage of men's and women's sports.<a href="#cite_note-SharpKathleen-156">[153]</a> <a href="/wiki/Gender_inequality" title="Gender inequality">Inequality</a> still exists in this area, but her study was deemed to be eye opening to how substantial the problem was and suggested ways to increase reporting on women's sporting events.
