Alice Miliat
Alice Miliat (May 5, 1884 - May 19, 1957) worked as a translator but also participated in rowing, swimming, and hockey. She was a member of a sports club for women and later helped form another – the Fédération Française Sportive Féminine. She served as treasurer and later president of this group and organized the first international women’s sporting events, the Women’s World Games, held in Monte Carlo in 1921 Determined to change things in the face of the refusal to allow full female participation in the Olympic Games, she created and became President of the International Women’s Sports Federation in 1921. She subsequently organized the Women’s World Games in Paris in 1922. These Games were followed by three further editions, in Gothenburg in 1926, Prague in 1930, and London in 1934. Faced with this pressure, the Olympics partially opened up the Games to women in 1928 in Amsterdam, and Milliat became the first female judge in the men’s athletics events!
