PDNB Gallery shared with us this portfolio by Delilah Montoya: Women Boxers : The New Warriors is accompanied by the following text.
By crossing the ropes and getting into the ring, these professional athletes enter into the bastions of manliness to confront a brutal sport. Many, in fact, are appalled by the violent sport of boxing and believe it should be banned. But these women, determined to box, turn their backs on these opinions. Title IX of the Civil Rights Act and the feminist movement gave them the right, and they have taken it willingly. Female boxers fight because they can – they are professionally trained, and the boxing rules are now modified to allow women athletes to participate in this sanctioned combat.
