Melpomene
(mel
POM
uh nee) was a spirited Greek woman
who ran the men-only 1896 Olympic Marathon even after she was told that
women could not enter the race. Today Melpomene Institute, located
in St. Paul, Minnesota, uses that same spirit to motivate girls and
women of all ages to be physically active throughout their whole life.
Since 1990, Melpomene has focused its energy on being a unique resource
for young girls and adolescents on issues such as self esteem, body
image, nutrition, and more.
