Athletics

How to describe a woman athlete? The institutional version is athletes with ovaries instead of testes. Whether amateur, professional, or educational activists fighting to keep the Federal Law Title IX strong, and women whose cultures forbid them to participate, the playing field is also a civil rights mine field, with extraordinary women fighting for opportunity at every level. 

The films are organized by the decade the film begins in (as opposed to the decade the film was made) starting in the 1900s until present day. Some films span multiple decades, and we will upgrade these time designations as the website evolves.
