Women in sports in the 1920s were headed by none other than the fairway flapper, who led the pack for women in sports by being a brilliant golfer and also an inspiration for a character in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, written in the 1920s. Croquet was most likely the first game that both men and women played in America. Vassar College in New York hosted the first two women's amateur baseball teams in 1866. The first women' golf club was created in St. Andrews, Scotland, in 1867. By 1886, it had 500 members.
