Ernestine Bayer will paddle your ass
Rowing guys, nobody would sit at the back of the boat bus if this lady had her way. That is why she is the RP of
“the movement to establish women’s rowing as a sport. During the 1930s the male rowing establishment told Ernestine Bayer she couldn’t row because she was a woman. So she established a woman’s boat club and then in the 1960s took the first U.S. women’s eight to France to row in world competition. Her actions created an uproar in the male rowing community. Today women constitute more than half the rowers in the United States.”
Nice job Ernestine! You gave rich broads something to do!
