Fanny Durack: Fighting for female Olympians | Herstory
Update: 2020-02-26
Description
Fanny Durack, daughter of Irish immigrants to Australia, won the first gold medal in women’s Olympic swimming in July 1912. Fanny created even more waves when she rejected a thick, modest woollen swimsuit with ‘as much drag as a sea-anchor’ in favour of a close-fitting suit in which she won the 100m freestyle.
