By her death in 1951, Beatrice Hill Lowe had written her name in history books becoming Irelands first female Olympian to win an Olympic medal in the 1908 summer Olympic games in London for archery, where only thirty-seven other women competed in the competition. Beatrice competed for Britain because at the time Ireland could not enter an official team into the Olympic games.

To put into perspective how historic of an event the 1908 Olympics was for women and the influence Beatrice had on women's sport, there was a total of over two thousand athletes from twenty-two countries who competed in the 1908 Olympics but only thirty-seven of the athletes at the event were women. Women were only allowed to compete in five sports during this period of time; archery, figure skating, rackets, tennis and indoor tennis. In order to compete they were obliged to their normal everyday clothes. The impact of this event was massive in terms of future Olympics which saw an increase in women competing in the competition, such as the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm which saw swimming and diving being added to the list of sporting events women were allowed to compete in. The number of female competitors has increased so much that it is predicted through multiple decades of statistical research by the official Olympics Committee that in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in Japan there will be a a record 48.8 percent of female athletes in attendance. This level of participation all originated from Beatrice and the thirty-six other women of the 1908 London Olympics who broke cultural and social barriers of the early 1900s. In addition to keeping Beatrice’s memory alive today, in 2012 the Louth County Museum in Dundalk opened a display of all of Beatrice Hill Lowe’s memorabilia that they were able to acquire to celebrate the Louth native achievements in her career. This collection includes her 1908 Bronze Olympic medal that she won for her 3rd place win in archery, a competitor’s pin badge for attending the games and a competitor’s medal. This display is part of the collection ‘Patriot Games: Ireland and the Olympics 1896 – 2010’. Too showcase one of Irelands hidden icons who legacy through time had been overlooked. During the opening of the display the museum curator Brian Walsh quoted “the women who paved the way for Irish medalists such as Katie Taylor and who we are so proud to say was a Louth woman”. The collection is planned to be transferred to Ardee Castle after renovations, this is the childhood town in which Beatrice’s grew up. The collection will permanently remain in her memory for the forseable future.

Another display of the great legacy Beatrice left behind is to do with the cultural movement being pushed by RTE called Herstory. Beatrice is one of a few figures of Irish History who features in the Herstory movement – the Irish women’s storytelling movement, a platform dedicated to uncovering and showcasing the women of history in Ireland who played a key role in cultural changes that take place in modern day Ireland. The aim of the movement is to teach younger generational Ireland of important female figures who challenged cultural norms of their times.
