To mark our charity's 40th birthday we compared coverage of women's sport through the years

In the Guardian on May 18th 1984:
😥 1 out of 14 sports stories were focussed solely on women

In 5 papers on May 17th, 2024:

This one was pretty special! Proud to have ticked it off the bucket list - is it too soon to start planning for next year?! 🤩
