The popular saying that the place of a woman is in the kitchen and on her husband's bed will always remain funny! Sadly, this has been the plight of women countless times. Women were not allowed to participate in a lot of activities, sports inclusive; those who dared defy the norms of society were always castigated and had to struggle to push forward unlike their male counterparts. The aim of this article is to celebrate and acknowledge the struggles of female athletes and salute our trailblazers who have dared to do the impossible.

In recent years, women's achievements in the world of sports have reached new heights, breaking barriers, and inspiring thousands across the globe. Despite facing various obstacles, some women have consistently defied societal norms and proven their remarkable abilities in athletics.

Spectacular icons like Serena Williams, who is one of the most successful tennis players of all time, will forever have their names in history books. Serena has won 23 Grand Slam singles titles, 14 Grand Slam doubles titles, and four Olympic gold medals. This is a win!
