Monaco Women's Olympiad Femina Paris Team Parade 1921 Real Photo Postcard

This postcard captures an event organized by Femina Sport, a pioneering French women's athletic club founded in Paris in 1912 by Pierre Payssé. At a time when female participation in sports was largely discouraged or dismissed, Femina Sport was instrumental in promoting women's athleticism, organizing competitions in track and field, basketball, and gymnastics, and fostering a generation of female athletes. The numbered bibs worn by the women suggest a competitive event or a parade celebrating sports achievement.
