Alice Milliat asked the IAAF, the organization in charge of the Olympics, if women’s track and field could be included in the 1924 Olympic Games but was rejected. In 1921, Milliat decided to make her own sporting event, and formed La Federation Sportive Feminine Internationale (FSFI) to oversee women’s sporting event. The FSFI held a women’s Olympic Games, including all sports instead of the limited number in the official Olympics. After two unofficial events, the first Women’s Olympics were held at Pershing Stadium in Paris with five teams; the U.S., Great Britain, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, and France. Eleven events were included and eighteen athletes broke world records. The official Olympics were angry and wanted Milliat and the FSFI to change the name of their event in exchange for adding 10 more events for women at the 1928 Olympics. The next event by the FSFI was now known as the Women’s World Games, held in Sweden in 1926. Due to pressure from the FSFI, the Olympic Games later added five women’s track and field events, but still was lacking in comparison to the men’s 22 events. The British women’s team boycotted the games due to this reason. Milliat approached the IAAF and said to fully integrate the 1936 Olympics, or give all women’s participation in sporting events to the FSFI. Although there still is not an equal division of men’s and women’s sports in the Olympics, the pressure Milliat put on the IAAF expanded the representation of women at the Olympics. Milliat was an advocate for women’s suffrage in France, believing that women’s suffrage would lead to greater support for women’s sports.
