Honoring the Legacy

by M. Ann Hall and Gertrud Pfister

Honoring the Legacy is the story of the past fifty years, and the many remarkable women who have contributed to the International Association of Physical Education and Sport for Girls and Women (IAPESGW).

Founded in 1949, the IAPESGW supports its members working for girls' and women's sport and physical education, and provides opportunities for professional development and international cooperation.

IAPESGW, which has members in all five continents and more than 40 countries, holds scientific congresses every four years.
