On 8 September 1921, Margaret Gorman won the Atlantic City Pageant’s Gold Mermaid Trophy.

After winning the “Miss District of Columbia” title, Gorman was an honored guest at the second Atlantic City Pageant where she won “Inter-City Beauty, Amateur” and the “The Most Beautiful Bathing Girl in America” titles. She was also awarded the Gold Mermaid Trophy.

The following year, Gorman was planning to defend her title, but because a new Miss District of Columbia had already been selected, she was unable to do so. Therefore, the Atlantic City Pageant proclaimed her the first “Miss America.” Gorman was the only Miss America to receive her crown at the end of her reign.

Although contests of female beauty were celebrated in Europe and the early America, the first modern beauty pageant was organized by P.T. Barnum in 1854. Because respectable women would not enter such a contest, the event was a failure. As an alternative, Barnum developed a picture photo contest where women were able to enter using a photograph. The photographs—not the women themselves—were then judged.
