Our story – Act for women sports

The Alice Milliat Foundation is the 1st foundation for women sports in Europe and aims to expand its activity internationally. It was officially launched on Match 29th 2016 with the support of the then French President François Hollande. Hosted by the French Sport Foundation, it is recognized to be of Public interest.

It was founded to promote media coverage of women sports, which is growing year on year but still has a long way to go. With this in mind, the Alice Milliat Foundation was created in tribute to the most honourable symbol of women sports.

In 2016, the Alice Milliat Foundation has been awarded by the program Erasmus + and was able to create the first European Day of Women's Sport on May 7th 2016, with the support of a consortium of four other European associations: ISCA (International Sports and Culture Association Denmark), UISP (Unione Italiana Sport Per Tutti - Italy), Kenniscentrum Sport (Netherlands) and the Foundation of the Sporting Club (Portugal).

Alice Milliat: a forgetten hero of world’s sport

Alice Milliat was born in 1884 in Nantes, France, and deceased on May 19th 1957 in Paris. Alice Milliat studied to become a teacher and was an active sportswoman with a love for rowing. In 1922, she became the President FSFI*. Alice Milliat believed that sports developed personalities and gave young women confidence. Her own confidence and leadership led to a 15-year international campaign for the development of women sports.

In 1919, Alice Milliat’s first big move was to request that the IOC include women in the track and field program. She recounts; “I came up against a solid wall of refusal, which led directly to the creation of the Women’s Olympic Games.”

It was a time of cultural upheaval between two world wars when the feminist movement was making a splash. In this momentum Alice Milliat and her peers created an international federation, which gave birth to the first “Women’s Games” in 1921. In 1922, 38 countries from 5 continents were affiliated with FSFI and the decision was made to hold the “Women’s Olympic Games” every 4 years.

Between 1922 and 1934 the FSFI organized four Women’s Olympics exposing hundreds of athletes to thousands of spectators. In the Paris Games in 1924, 15,000 people came to watch. One Paris newspaper even compared Alice Milliat’s success to Pierre de Coubertin’s. Alice Milliat and her peers did more to promote women sports than either the IOC or the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
