Best Answer

Originally, lacrosse was a Native American sport for the men of an Indian tribe. The game was a contest of strength, speed, and toughness. Women were not originally suppose to compete in the game because of the dangers it posed. No pads were used whatsoever, and the now common term a "check" was on an entirely different level. So, to answer this question: No, lacrosse was not originally for women. It was a guys sport but obviously, this has changed.

What is the shortest stick allowed in lacrosse?

This question is impossible to answer because women's lacrosse sticks are measured as an overall length (including the head). According to US Lacrosse and NCAA rules, a woman's lacrosse stick should measure between 35 1/2" to 43 1/4". These are overall lengths and NOT just shaft length.
