PROHIBIDAS PERO NO VENCIDAS MUJERES PIONERAS DEL DEPORTE

The hidden history of the sport practiced, promoted and enjoyed by women.

Women's sport played an important, albeit unknown, role in the fight for women's equality in all walks of life.

Through a selection of episodes from the 19th and 20th centuries, Forbidden but not defeated , with an informal and fun style, reveals how different precursors from a large part of the world - champions, educators, artists, adventurers - achieved what only seemed reserved to the masculine portion of humanity, thus becoming examples of the physical and psychological capacities of women.

Being mythical and pioneering in their time , first conscientiously hidden and then forgotten, they influenced the massive practice of sport among women in a period marked by the maturation of feminist claims.

Prohibited but not expired is not only a necessary complement to the history of sports, since most of the names that appear among its pages will surely be unknown to whoever reads it, but it is essential to understand the history of the fights for equality in a search that some brave women undertook long ago, coming face to face with a hostile reality, mocking social obstinacy and forging small daily revolutions.

Sport, revolution, claim and heartfelt tribute, with the utmost respect and without losing "except when things no longer have any fun" sense of humor.
