I don't know that history has recorded the first woman to compete in the Olympics. History has recorded that the first woman to win a gold medal was Charlotte Cooper of Great Britain who won gold in ladies singles tennis in the 1900 Olympics in Paris. The 1900 Olympics were the second Olympics of the modern era and the first that women were allowed to compete in. Women were not allowed to compete in the first modern Olympics held in Greece in 1896.

Through the 2004 Summer Games in Athens, no Indian woman has won a gold medal at the Olympics. The only Indian woman to win a medal in Olympic competition was Karnam Malleswari who won the bronze medal in weightlifting in the 69 kg weight class at the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney. All of India's gold medals at the Olympics have come in field hockey. India has won gold 8 times in Olympic field hockey: 1928, 1932, 1936, 1948, 1952, 1956, 1964, and 1980.
That was Karnam Malleswari who won a bronze medal in weightlifting at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. As of the 2008 Games, she is the only Indian women to win a medal at the Olympics.
The first Australian woman to win a gold medal was Fanny Durack, from Sydney, in the 100 meter freestyle at the 1912 Games in Stockholm.
