Besides Ederle:
September 10, 1926 Amelia Gade Corson, first mother and second woman to swim the English Channel
September 20, 1928 Aimé Tschiffely Swiss-Argentine Horse Rider from Buenos Aires to New York
June 20, 1932 Amelia Earhart Putnam following transatlantic flight.
July 11, 1957 Althea Gibson, winner of the Wimbledon women’s singles championship.
March 9, 1960 Carol Heiss, Olympic figure skating gold medalist.
Etc.

All individuals. This was the first womens’ TEAM so honored.
