According to Wiki, The Gordon Sisters Boxing is an American Short B & W silent film, that was directed by Thomas A. Edison. It is one of the earliest female boxing movies in existence. Edison’s film catalogue describes the film as follows: Champion lady boxers of the world. Here we depict two female pugilists that are really clever. They are engaged in a hot and heavy one-round sparring exhibition, which is photographed against a very pleasing background, consisting of a park, with marble entrance and walk, and beautiful trees and shrubbery. The exhibition is very lively from start to finish; the blows fall thick and fast, and some very clever pugilistic generalship is exhibited. Edison Manufacturing Co., 1901.
