Mildred Burke
Mucho antes de que la lucha libre femenina se comercializara como espectáculo, Mildred Burke demostró que podía sostenerse en credibilidad, atletismo y autoridad. Su carrera obligó a la industria a considerar a las mujeres como un atractivo importante.
Mildred Burke no pidió espacio en la lucha libre: lo tomó. Gracias a su habilidad, acondicionamiento y una presencia innegable, estableció la lucha libre femenina como algo que había que creer, no explicar.
