EDITORS COMMENTS
In the electric atmosphere of a packed wrestling arena in Atlantis, USA, during the year of 1928, Teddy Myers, a formidable woman wrestler, boldly takes on a male opponent with unwavering determination. Born in Missouri, Myers, who went by the ring names Dott O Dell and Zella Wiseman, made history at just twenty-four years of age when she claimed the world heavyweight championship for women. Weighing in at 164lb, she was a force to be reckoned with in the male-dominated sport of professional wrestling. Myers' fierce and unyielding spirit is on full display in this photograph as she expertly applies a toe-hold on her male adversary. The intense concentration etched on her face reveals the overwhelming mental and physical strength required to excel in this modern and challenging sport. Her powerful legs lock around her opponent's ankle, applying maximum pressure to immobilize him. As a pioneering figure in women's wrestling, Myers paved the way for future generations of sportswomen to challenge gender norms and prove their worth in the ring. Her groundbreaking achievements continue to inspire girls and women around the world to embrace their inner strength and pursue their passions, no matter the obstacles they may face.
