    Default Early days of women wrestling

    Women wrestling goes clear back to 1921 with Cora Livingston as kind of the top girl. However there was not a whole lot of womento wrestle so she wrestled alot of men her weight. Normally in a carvinal or traveling circus. Later such stars as Mildred Burke, June Byers, & Nell Stewart came along.
