WOMEN IN SPORT

Abstract

Since the early days of modern, organized sports, women have fought for equity in sports, from equal wages among male and female athletes to simply the right to take the field. From modern day superstars like Serena Williams, Simone Biles, and Megan Rapinoe, to the early advocates for women’s place in sports, female athletes have been making their mark on athletics for centuries. Recently women are coming forward in almost all sports. In many countries of the world, sports are given special importance. They have been given special preference in employment also.
