A great article about 8 great women! Congratulations, Ladies.

She stuntworld lost another icon. Paula Dell Boelsems was a trailblazing acrobat on Muscle Beach who translated her talents into a career in stunts.

More to ponder ... Two great quotes: 1) “ ... I remember saying years and years ago, when I was 35, that they’d have to exhume somebody to play my leading man … Nothing’s changed in that regard. If anything, it’s got worse.” 2) “It’s bizarre. Any woman who says they’re not a feminist is basically saying that they don’t believe in equal rights for women.”

And comic-book movies! "If I see yet another Spider-Man, I’m going to have to actually hang myself."
