The first women's softball team was formed in 1895 at Chicago's West Division High School. They did not obtain a coach for competitive play until 1899. But in 1904, the Spalding Indoor Baseball Guide devoted a large section of the guide to the game of women's softball (presumably to reach a new demographic for its equipment) and the women's game began to grow.

Where did fastpitch softball start?

The problem is that fastpitch softball is a derivative of slowpitch softball. Slowpitch has a place; however, the entire reason for throwing underarm was to make it a more leisurely game. Someone then decided to alllow girls to hurl it underarm at high speeds. It is a fundamentally flawed sport due to the imbalance between pitcher and batter. There is really no reason for it to exist other than the sexism that has kept girls from playing baseball.
