About this book

The Queen of the Ring: Sex, Muscles, Diamonds, and the Making of an American Legend by Leen, Jeff. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780802118820.

At only five foot two, Mildred Burke was an unlikely candidate for the ring. A waitress barely scraping by on Depression-era tips, she wanted more, and she saw her chance when she witnessed her first wrestling match. Even against all odds, she knew that she could become a female wrestler. What followed was a gritty, glittering testament to the golden age of wrestling, when beauty and brawn captivated the world.
