Thérèse Bertone (Turin, Italy, 1900 – Montfermeil, Paris suburbs, 1984) was a French athlete who won three medals at the 1923 Women's Olympiad under the nickname 'Monnet' due to social pressures faced by women at the time and was part of the Lyon Olympic University field hockey team (L.O.U).
Life
editThérèse Bertone (Theresa Bertone, alias Monnet) was born in Turin and arrived in France at the end of 1901 with her parents and older sister Marguerite (Margherita). Around 1900, her family had to sell their market garden lands in Valdocco (now part of the municipality of Turin, Italy) for a modest sum to the Salesian community headed by Don Rua. She passed the Certificat d'Études in Lyon and learned the profession of seamstress. She became actively involved in sports and was trained by her brother-in-law, Pierre Stenghel, a painter with emerging renown. Indeed, hiring a professional trainer would have been financially burdensome given her limited weekly earnings. Her mother refused to let her daughter practice sports under her true name, so she took the name of her trainer's half-brother, Monnet.[1]
Women's field hockey team
edit
The women's field hockey section of the LOU was created in 1906. The first matches often took place on 'cow fields' and the equipment of the time had nothing in common with today's equipment. According to the January 1, 1921 edition of 'Le Sportif,' Thérèse Bertone, known as Monnet, is one of the five forwards on the L.O.U hockey team, distinguished by red and black blouses and black berets.[2]
At the time, a part of public opinion still claimed that only 'street girls' practiced sports.[4] [5] [6] Thérèse Bertone's license card from the Fédération Féminine Française de Sports Athlétiques (F.F.F.S.A) is in the name of Thérèse Monnet. Under her nickname 'Monnet', she won the bronze medal on April 7th at the 1923 Women's Olympiad of Monaco. On that very day, numerous newspapers chronicled her athletic achievements.[7] [8] [9]
End of the athletic career
editThérèse Bertone married Claude Eugène Murigneux (1893 – 1966) in June 1923 and definitively ended her athletic career in order to take care of her family.
