Did you know that only as recently as 1900 women were allowed to participate in the Olympics? Compare that to the centuries of men allowed to participate in this tradition, and you get the idea. Oh, and women's gymnastics debuted at the 1928 Olympics. Ridiculous.So the muse we’re investigating today is all of the above: she’s a rebel, a superstar, an accomplished athlete.
