Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom!
Today I want to tell you about Mildred Burke, a woman wrestler whose wrestling career spanned two decades. My resources can be found in the show notes.
Mildred Burke was an American professional wrestler who made significant contributions to the development of women's wrestling in the mid-20th century. She is considered one of the most important and pioneering figures in the history of women’s professional wrestling. Her career spanned several decades, and her impact in the ring helped pave the way for future generations of female wrestlers.
