She would be consider, by folks who agree with Lucy, as a "proper" woman.
In fact she would be the exact kind of woman those of a certain mindset would rail against for destroying the idea of what a woman "should" be.
She competed against boys, boxed, didn't care for men and lived out her life with a younger female "friend".
The kind of person who would and should be lauded for her abilities would still be shunned and shamed by some folks because she wasn't "feminine" enough.
She was the reason girls sports were even given a chance. I just find it funny that you guys now want to dismantle girls sports now. A woman competing against men is stepping up her level of competition. A man competing against women is just taking the easy route.
She was a generational talent which could not be matched today.
