Sydney Friedman (from the Bersa pattern episode) is back this week to talk about the Jogbra. Which came about at a time when Roberta “Bobbi” Gibb ran in the 1966 Boston Marathon when women were not allowed to and she didn’t have a sports bra. Billie Jean King is named Sports Illustrated’s first ever Sportswoman of the Year and played Bobby Riggs in the infamous ‘Battle of the Sexes’.

Here are some of the links for the videos and articles discussed. Florence Williams, “The Athletic Brasserie,” 99% Invisible. Title ix Gary Singh, “Stripped,” Metro Santa Cruz, February 16, 2005 Smithsonian Jogbra Archive
