Answer: Paris 1900
Cool year for the Olympics me thinks.
Why?
Remember when I asked this question — Who’s the Current Olympic Champion in Cricket?
It happened during that Olympic Games, too! Filled with firsts, eh? And not to mention quaint trivia. Hehehe.
I recommend you read this: Evolution of Women and Sport

Your question was “when did women first take part in the Olympic games” oK. Lets see, even though women were not allow to participate in the sport back in ancient Greece Prostitutes and Virgins were allow to watch. Women were the originally the prize. Kallipateria was the 1st female Oympic boxing coach in 440 B.C. The first female Olympic champion was a Sparton Princess called Kynisca in 392 B.C
Officially in the modern time it was in Paris in the 1900 the following women were part of the games that Helen de Pourtales, Switzerland (Yachting), Elvira Guerra, France (Equestrianism), Mme Ohnier and Madame Depres, France (Croquet), Charlotte Cooper, Great Britain (Tennis), Margaret Abbott, USA (Golf), Madame Maison, France (Ballooning).
I hope that this information is usefull to you.
