I Love Superheroes: Wonderwoman
"In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston
marathon. After realizing that a woman was running, race organizer Jock
Semple went after Switzer shouting, “Get the hell out of my race and
give me those numbers.” However, Switzer’s boyfriend and other male
runners provided a protective shield during the entire marathon.The
photographs taken of the incident made world headlines, and Kathrine
later won the NYC marathon with a time of 3:07:29." (via kateoplis)Wiki
I'm always amazed to realize that things like that happened not long ago.
