The story of how women have fought their way into the world of sport, an arena jealously guarded by men.

1. Obstacle Course

From bans on participation to gender checks, a history of sport seen through human relationship with female muscle.

2. Strong Not Skinny

Dancing or horse riding for girls, judo or soccer for boys. The figures speak for themselves: elegance for girls, strength for boys.

3. Show Some Skin!

Bikinis are mandatory in women's beach volleyball competitions, female skaters wear shorts, female tennis players are required to wear miniskirts... How does this constant exposure benefit athletic performance?

4. It's a Man's World

Earning ten times less than men, seeing your sponsor abandon you during pregnancy, putting up with sexist comments: the story of female athletes resembles a constant struggle.
