Large collection of 'membership cards' for women - French Women's Sports Association. 1920s
An important collection of 67 membership cards for women who were members of the Fédération féminines sportives de France - many of them are Jewish women who were themselves athletes and took part in the competitions and championships held by the Federation in the various sports, or those that were members of the Federation. France, 1920s.
All cards show the passport photo of the cardholder, her personal details, and an ink stamp of the Federation of Sports Associations in France. Many 'membership cards' of Jewish women appear, such as: Anna Levy, Yehudit Levy, Nissenbaum Bracha, Andrea Grossman, Adel Cohen, Dina Blum, Birnbaum family, and others.
The Federation of Women's Sports Associations of France was an organization under which it has united the women's sports clubs in the whole of France. The first federation dedicated to women's physical activity only, appeared in 1912. The first women's athletics championships were held in 1917. Dr. Raoul Bodet and Mrs. Marie Sorkoff headed the organization from its inception. The acronyms of the federation as of 1921 included the abbreviated name FFSF of the French Women's Sports Association, as it appears in the membership cards before us.
67 membership cards. Same size: 13x8 cm. Very good condition.
