The first woman to cross the Strait of Gibraltar was Mercedes Gleitze, a British swimmer. She accomplished this feat on October 7, 1928, becoming the first woman to swim the strait, which is approximately 14 kilometers wide at its narrowest point. Gleitze's swim was significant not only for her personal achievement but also for inspiring future generations of female athletes.
