Thérèse Brulé was a French athlete who specialized in the high jump. Her sister Jeanne assumed the General Secretariat of the Fédération des sociétés féminines sportives de France (FSFSF) in 1920.
Historical
Thérèse Brulé, typist by trade, was with her sister Jeanne and the other sisters Liébrard one of the founders, on 27 July 1912, of Femina Sport, which included Mrs. Faivre Bouvot as the first president.[1] During the great War, they strove to improve gender codes of the day which confined the activities of women in rhythmic gymnastics and athletic sports. This club then established itself as the bastion of sportif feminism, of which Germaine Delapierre, graduate in philosophy, and Alice Milliat were the main organisers.[2] At their instigation the office Fédération des sociétés féminines sportives de France(FSFSF) became exclusively female in 1920 and Therese's sister Jeanne becomes on the General Secretary.[3]
