	Fanny Durack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 1910-11 swimming season, Mina Wylie beat Durack in the 100 yards breaststroke and the 100 and 220 yards freestyle at the Australian Swimming Championships at Rose Bay.
		Durack and Wylie were obviously deserving of selection, however their selections were stymied by the attitude of the New South Wales Ladies Amateur Swimming Association, which invoked a stipulation that members could not appear in competitions where men were present.
		This rule meant that that neither Durack nor Wylie could swim in front of the Olympic swimming selectors (who were male), nor could they swim in front of male spectators in Stockholm.

	[No title]
		Faced with a tremendous talent pool, which included eventual gold and silver medallists Fanny Durack and Mina Wylie, debate raged as to whether to send a women’s team.
		While medals might bring some respect to Durack and Wylie, swimming scantily clad in front of the male Olympic audience would only continue the objectification of women. The ‘conservative’ feminist mindset continued throughout the 1920’s and 1930’s.
		World War I and the digger had reasserted the man’s prominent position in society and there was a backlash toward the gains women had made in the prior decade, but feminists persevered and the 1920s was a time of mass mobilizations of new women’s organizations.
