Video Description from YouTube:
They were told women didn’t belong in sport.
They were told women were too fragile, too slow, too weak.
Yet across tennis courts, oceans, mountains, racetracks and stadiums, these pioneers answered doubt with achievement.
From the first woman Olympic champion to the first woman to climb Mount Everest, their victories reshaped the history of sport.
Their challenge.
Women’s victory.
