woman sport

Women's sports, both amateur and professional, have existed worldwide for centuries in a variety of sports and different countries. In the 20th century, particularly within the last quarter-century, female participation and the popularization of their involvement in sports increased. These changes are more observable in well-developed countries and are often attributed to the presence of gender parity feminism, a feminist ideology popularized in the United States of America.[1] Today the level of participation and performance still varies greatly by country and by sport.
