Awesome moments in history -- In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston marathon. After realizing that a woman was running, race organizer Jock Semple went after Switzer shouting, “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers.” However, Switzer’s boyfriend and other male runners provided a protective shield during the entire marathon.The photographs taken of the incident made world headlines, and Kathrine later won the NYC marathon with a time of 3:07:29.
 
they still separate the women and men today. fyi (if they didn't, no women would ever win i guess)

but i guess the point is at the time they didn't even have the separate womens run?
 
The Equal Rights Amendment failed, women still only make 80 cents on the dollar, and the GOP thinks they are possessions of men. Times still need to change significantly.
