From the Paper:

"The America public takes female sports stars for granted. Whether it is college basketball, softball or baseball the public supports their existence. Professional female tennis players and golf pros have fans who follow their career with diligence. The female sport circuit is but one more leg in the wheel of gender equality, but it hasn't always been this way. Just a little more than three decades ago women were shut out of many sports activities and those they were allowed to participate in were the first to be cut when budget problems would strike."
