About The Project
Throughout time women have always been confined through societal stereotypes. Especially regarding sports. There is a very relevant and negative stigma that surrounds women in sports. Additionally differences between men and women sports have been silenced in regard to funding, audience, salaries and interest. Women were not able to play sports for many centuries and it wasn’t until the 1920's that women were legally able to compete in the Olympics. The gender roles pushed on women ultimately deprived them of basic human rights and liberty.

My name is Arianna and I am a sophomore at lane. I decided to focus my project on the confines that surround women athletes in sports and the effect this can have on one's self-esteem/mental health. I have played a majority of sports throughout my life and I have experienced countless scenarios of gender bias when participating, especially ones deemed as male dominated. This has been a recurring issue that has affected innumerable women from centuries ago. My goal is to spread awareness and break these ideologies that are placed onto women.
