Female bodybuilding is the female component of competitive bodybuilding. It began in the late 1970s, when women began to participate in bodybuilding competitions
The female bodybuilding was originally created not only by the European vaudeville and circus festivities of the late 19th century, by Bernar Macfadden's women's competition and by the weight lifting of Abbye "Pudgy" Stockton, but also as an outgrowth of men's physique. The tournament formats of the men's events in the 1950s to mid-1970s were often supplemented by a women's competition or a bikini show. These shows "had little to do with women's bodybuilding as we know it today, but they served as a beginning or perhaps better than a doormat for the development of future bodybuilding shows." Physics competitions for women back to at least the 1960s with competitions such as Miss Build, Miss Body Beautiful U.S.A., W.B.B.G. And Miss Americana, I.F.B.B .. Maria Elena Alberici, as listed in the almanac of women's bodybuilding, won two national titles in one year: Miss Body Beautiful U.S.A. 1972, sponsored by Dan Lourie and Miss Americana in 1972, promoted by Joe Weider. Mr. Olympia, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a judge at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York when Maria Elena Alberici (aka) Maria Lauren won Miss Americana. Only in the late 1970s, after the advent of the feminist movement and female powerlifting events, women were seen as competitive in their own bodybuilding competitions
In order to become an "IFBB Pro", you must first earn your IFBB Pro Card. To win a bodybuilder looking to do this must first gain a regional weight class. If a bodybuilder wins or places high they deserve an invitation to compete at the national championship contest for this year. The winners of each weight class at the national championships will then head to head in a separate competition to see who is the overall champion for the year. Depending on the association, a pro-card is offered to the overall champion. Some associations offer pro cards to winners of individual weight class champions. This may mean that every year more than one bodybuilder can earn a Pro Card.
In the USA, the NPC (National Physique Committee) is associated with the IFBB and awards IFBB Pro Cards. The following competitions will be awarded to IFBB Pro Tickets:
NPC Women's National Championships has three weight classes: lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight. All three class winners in the competition are entitled to professional status.
NPC USA Championships has three weight classes. The total winner is entitled to occupational status.
IFBB World Championships, each weight-class winner is eligible for pro-status.
IFBB North American Championships, the overall winner is eligible for occupational status.
