Carlotta Lee: Pioneer Female Boxer

Carlotta Lee, who not only boxed but was a registered nurse, who graduated from the University of Houston.  Lee was a  stablemate with Graciela Cassillas.  Lee said at the time, “I think that it’s nice for females to get out and do different things.  They have the abilities just like men.  To me, boxing is a sport.  I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.  You have to use your mind just like a lawyer or a secretary on a job.  A secretary uses her typewriter, I use my hands.”
