How many do you think you can name before you look at the list? They include women from around the world, but are mostly from the U.S. They make up most summer and winter sports. Nine are B-Ballers; only two from UConn. However, the biggest blunder here is that Maya is not on the list. Hence, there will likely be a lot of credibility questions. But ...it's kinda fun to see how many names you can muster. Some are still active, some are retired. Have fun.

Prior to the late 1700’s, women did not participate in sports very often, if ever. Elizabeth Wilkinson, a female British boxer, stepped into the ring to become the first woman to box. That was just one of many first’s for women in sports over the following 300 years.
From Helen Hicks, the first professional female golfer, to May Sutton Bundy, the first professional female tennis player, women have come a long way since the late 1800’s and are now some of the most popular athletes in all of sports. But it wasn’t until the turn of the century that female athletes began to gain notoriety thanks to a little thing called sex appeal. And not to sound sexist but thanks to sex appeal, popularity began to grow for female sports and athletes.
In honor of the success of many of today’s most popular female athletes, here is a list of the Best of the Best female athletes over the past 20 years.
