The Legalization of Women's Wrestling

Today, Alexa discusses the history of the legalization of women's wrestling, and the role wrestler Titi Paris had in lifting the ban. Mentioned are the people who attempted before her, the folks who held them back, and those who supported them. Placing a ban on women's wrestling made it so combat fighters by trade could not have experience, opportunity, or employment.

Note from Alexa
Although gender is truly nothing if it is not fluid, I refer to it primarily in the binary sense throughout this episode, because that was the school of thought for the majority at this time.
