Iris - Thank you so much for this piece. It was fascinating go read about this woman and to consider all the expectations dumped on girls to look and act a certain way. I'm looking forward to reading more about other physically strong women. Thank you for all your work shining lights on forgotten women

Iris, this is a fascinating story! I’m curious to know where the bar was in Queens. Your book idea sounds fantastic. Keep us posted!
