Blanco receipt from the 1st Women's World Games in Paris in 1922 with 12 original signatures of the participants, including 4 gold medalists: Genevieve Laloz (+1986; hurdles); Violette Gouraud Morris (+1944; 5x gold 1921-1924); Francesca Pianzola (2x gold), 16x9.5 cm --The Women's World Games, initially the Women's Olympics, were international competitions for women that were held before women were generally admitted to the Olympic Games. Until then, women were only allowed to play a few sports at the Olympics: golf and tennis in 1900, archery in 1904, tennis, archery and ice skating in 1908, and swimming was added in 1912. The Women's World Games were organized by the International Women's Sports Federation FSFI (Fédération Sportive Féminine Internationale, founded on October 31, 1921). The FSFI Women's World Games have been held four times. Afterwards, the FSFI was dissolved in a deal with the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The IOC included women's competitions in the Olympic program, and the FSFI decided not to hold its own world championships. 77 female athletes from five countries (France, USA, Great Britain, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland) took part in the first games in 1922. FSFI President Alice Milliat opened the one-day games with the phrase “I declare the games of the world’s first women’s Olympics open.” Condition: B
