My first thought was hopscotch and my second was jump rope. But was either of these sports/"sports" invented by women? No.

Wikipedia traces hopscotch back to India in the Iron Age. It's on the list of games prohibited by Buddha (which includes "ball games," to the possible delight of anti-sports people). And: "In 1828, Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language also referred to the game as 'Scotch-hopper' ... 'a play in which boys hop over scotches and lines in the ground.'" Boys.

The activity was considered indecent for girls" — indecent for girls! — "due to concerns of them showing their ankles. Girls began skipping in the 18th century...."
