USA Archery Celebrates Female Archers On International Women's Day

USA Archery would like to celebrate International Women’s Day this year by recognizing the achievements of female archers throughout history.

Throughout history, archery has been a link to female strength and equality. Many figures in mythology, such as the Roman goddess Diana and her Greek equivalent Artemis, were depicted carrying bows and quivers. The Norse worshipped Skadi as the goodness of archery and hunting. However, these instances are not just that of myth and fairytale. Many recent archeological conquests have discovered women and young girls alike across many different ancient civilizations buried with their bows as a symbol of respect for their abilities as warriors.

Archery eventually developed into what is now one of the world’s oldest sports and was one of the first sports to include women. Women’s archery was added as an Olympic event in 1904, where Matilda “Lida” Howell led the U.S. women to three gold medals. However, even before the 1900s, archery was practiced competitively. Most notable of these instances might be the popularization of the sport among England’s wealthiest citizens in the early 1800s. British monarch Queen Victoria was an avid archer and the patron of the Society of St Leonards Archery, founded in 1833.

Women in archery have come a long way since shooting in corsets and petticoats. USA Archery currently has nearly 10,000 female members, which accounts for over 40 percent of our overall membership, showing competitive archery has remained prevalent among modern women. Among our youth memberships, the female-to-male ratio is nearly 50:50!
