Carmen Pomi s (1900-1982) is a significant figure in the history of women's football in the interwar years. Carmen was in the first generation of women's sport in France, first in athletics, winning medals throwing the javelin in international competitions, and playing football for F mina Sports and France from 1920\. Her life in sport is intertwined with key personalities such as Alice Milliat and Violette Morris. Carmen also played a huge part in the story of women's football in England: she played many times for and against the famous Dick, Kerr Ladies of Preston, including their 1922 football tour of the United States. Carmen became almost an honorary Englishwoman, making lifelong friends of important footballers such as Florrie Redford, Lily Parr and Lizzy Ashcroft. During these years, Carmen was not only a player but also an important influence in promoting the game and fighting for equality. Carmen also had fascinating siblings: her brother Georges was a film star and famous modern dancer who died tragically young, her older sister H l ne was a left-wing author and translator.From 1940 Carmen was secretary to a famous film star, Ren e Saint-Cyr, and was active in the French Resistance. In 1946, she settled in Rochester NY before moving to New York to work for the United Nations. From 1956, her life is shrouded in mystery because of gaps in the evidence. She died in France in 1982\. So her life is about much more than just football!
