Striking a hefty blow for Womens Lib is 12-year-old Jacqueline Fuller
Striking a hefty blow for Womens Lib is 12-year-old Jacqueline Fuller. Jackie, who lives at South Oxhey, Hertfordshire, is mad about boxing. Twice a week she attends the local amateur boxing club where she spars with about ten boys of her own size. And she is more than a match for most of them. But any dreams that Jackie - currently weighing in at 5-stones, seven-pounds - has of becoming a champion won t be realized at the moment. For as the rules stand at the moment, young ladies are not allowed to appear in the ring. March 1972 P007915

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness 12-year-old Jacqueline Fuller fearlessly challenging gender norms and breaking barriers in the realm of women's liberation. Hailing from South Oxhey, Hertfordshire, Jackie is an ardent boxing enthusiast who devotes herself to honing her skills at the local amateur boxing club. Undeterred by societal expectations, she fearlessly spars with ten boys of her own size twice a week, proving that she is more than a match for most of them. However, despite her undeniable talent and determination, Jackie's dreams of becoming a champion are currently put on hold due to outdated rules that prohibit young ladies from entering the ring. This poignant image captures both Jackie's unwavering spirit and the limitations imposed upon girls in sports during March 1972. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how far society has come in terms of gender equality within sports. It showcases not only Jackie's passion for boxing but also highlights the struggles faced by young girls seeking equal opportunities in male-dominated fields. As we reflect on this moment frozen in time, let us celebrate brave individuals like Jacqueline Fuller who paved the way for future generations to shatter glass ceilings and pursue their passions without constraints or prejudice.
