Photo 10 Aug 1,081 notes diaphenia: prettyoldphotos: 1908 - Women archers competing in the Olympics, one of the only sports open to women at the time. I can’t imagine why you’d take a bunch of people deprived of full voting rights, denied the right to wear pants even though they’re playing sports in the summer, and give them weapons.  The Olympics of 1908 could’ve gone very differently.
