Fighting the Current: The Rise of American Women's Swimming, 1870-1926
Lisa Bier
Describes the origins of women's competitive swimming in the United States, beginning in the nineteenth century. Women faced many obstacles to safe swimming opportunities, including beliefs about physical abilities, access to safe and clean water, bathing suits that did not allow for movement, and opposition from sporting organizations. This is a testament to how far female athletes have come.
