I think Althea Gibson deserves a mention here. I first heard of her from a part she had in a John Wayne movie, The Horse Soldiers. After garnering some interest in her, I did some research....not only a tennis pro (won Wimbledon), but also a pro golfer. Just sounds like a very interesting woman. And generally, I find women more interesting than men, but that's just me. And I think she just recently had some U.S. stamps issued with her on them playing tennis.

I try to buy AAGPBL items when they are available at reasonable prices. I have maybe 500 autographs and several scorecards. Would love to obtain a uniform someday. They so rarely come up for sale.

I've done extensive research on Jewish women athletes. There a ton of them who competed in the 1970's and up thruout college athletics. A huge number of these Jewish athletes in sports like tennis, gymnastics, and swimming. Especially in the Ivy League schools.
