In the late-1970s, a group of women in the US battled against the athletic commissions that sanctioned boxing matches and acted as gatekeepers to ensure that professional boxing remained a male bastion. The contributions of Marian “Lady Tyger” Trimiar, Cathy “Cat” Davis, and “Pretty” Pat Pineda to the sport’s history has long been hidden. But these trailblazers overcame sexism, racism, and homophobia in their battle for the right to fight.
