We can both relate and also stare at her in awe.

Phyllis Graber Jensen broke sports barriers in the 1970s.

A stellar athlete with no girls' teams to play on, she started a movement that eased the path for athletic girls coming up behind her.

Bumps in the road and an uncomfortable conversation at her Cornell interview simply did not slow her down.

Recently, the New York Times told her story, but we have the extended version that includes her life and time at Cornell.

She played with Billie Jean King, so you do not want to miss this!

And wait till you hear her favorite bar!
