Seller's Description:
Near Fine. Book. 8h x 5 1/4h. A real nice 356 page first edition softcover with 1 low in number line. Has an extra 14 pages of black & white photos. Has just a touch of general wear and is very nice. This is the story of Mildred Burke, the longest reigning champion of female wrestling. In this in-depth account, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Jeff Leen pulls back the curtain on a forgotten era when a petite midwesterner used her beauty and brawn to dominate America's most masculine sport. Burke regularly fought and beat male wrestlers. Rippling with muscle and dripping with diamonds, she walked the fine line between pin-up beauty and hardened brawler.
