    She was the most prominent to be accepted as an equal long before anyone thought that was progress. Well done, Mary, and thanks.

    Dang. She was a "little old lady in tennis shoes" when I was a college-aged stringer, which was a scant 30 years ago. I always figured she must have had it really rough, working in North Carolina, in the days when a woman writing sports was not just new but unfathomable to most people.
