No women were allowed to participate in the 1896 Olympics, because de Coubertin felt that their inclusion would be "impractical, uninteresting, unaesthetic, and incorrect."
There were women's events at the 1900 Games in Paris: tennis and golf. In addition to that, at least three women competed in croquet, and there was a woman member of the winning team in yachting, the first woman to win an Olympic medal.
Six women competed at the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis, Archery being the only women's event. They were all Americans.
Women were allowed to compete in swimming from 1912, but the USA would not allow its women to do anything that did not involve wearing an ankle-length skirt.
Women were allowed to compete in tack & field events from 1928.
That was the 1952 Games in Helsinki. The first woman to win an equestrian medal was Lis Hartel of Denmark who won silver in dressage at the 1952 Games. Incredibly, she had polio that resulted in paralysis in 1944. Through rehabilitation, she was able to regain most of her movement but remained paralyzed below the knees. Even though she required assistance on and off her horse, she won the silver medal in 1952 and another silver at the 1956 Games.
