An Olympic Gold medalist and seven times Grand slam winner, in 1914, Dorothea Lambert Chambers became the first mother to win a Grand Slam crown. In the time when patriarchy ruled the world, it was hard enough to be a woman, but to be a woman tennis player and on top of it a woman with an infant.

Dorothea Lambert Chambers most certainly did set a wonderful example for women in all sport all over the world that a woman’s career doesn’t end with her child.
