The Heraean Games were ancient Greek competitions held in honor of the goddess Hera, exclusively for women, and are considered one of the earliest forms of women’s athletic competitions before the 19th century. Hoop races, which involved participants racing while rolling hoops, were also practiced by women in various cultures before the 1800s.
