Athletes impact history, future of inclusion in athletics
In celebrating March as Women’s History Month, it’s crucial to recognize the contributions and challenges faced by LGBTQ+ female athletes at institutions like the University of Wisconsin. As a renowned institution with a rich history in athletics, UW has been home to numerous LGBTQ+ female athletes who have not only excelled in their sports but also broken barriers and paved the way for future generations. It is important to shed light on the experiences of LGBTQ+ women in athletics and recognize their contributions to the ongoing narrative of female achievements in sports history.
