The 1920s, it was a real challenge for women to take up athletics or football. By heading up women's associations and setting up international organizations, they attracted the press to their new records and the public to their sport. Pioneers of competitive sport, many of them have been forgotten, but their exploits and determination have paved the way for today's sportswomen.
Galerie Roger-Viollet in collaboration with L'Équipe, is showing 87 numbered, limited-edition photographs from the Roger-Viollet collections and the archives of the newspaper Excelsior.
