On May 31, 1900, 3 women took part in the Olympic Games for the first time in the modern era: an Italian, Elvira Guerra, and two Frenchwomen, Jeanne Moulin and Blanche de Marcigny.

Thanks to recent research, we now know that she was Blanche Quersonnier (Saint-Quentin 1865 - Neuilly-sur-Seine 1944). A free-spirited woman and equestrian artist, she led a romantic life before sinking into total oblivion.
