How did Switzer’s participation in the Boston Marathon in 1967 impact other women of her time?

La mujer que cambio la historia del maratón para siempre. Se inscribió para correr la legendaria maratón de la ciudad de Boston, Estados Unidos. Un hecho sin precedentes en una época en la que los hombres creían que las mujeres no eran capaces de correr más de una milla y media (2,4 kilómetros).

Este acto convirtió a Switzer en un modelo a seguir y lanzó su carrera como defensora de la igualdad para las mujeres en los deportes.

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)
