Combining the artistry of photographer Delilah Montoya with an informative introduction written by professor and librarian María Teresa Márquez, Women Boxers: The New Warriors explores the world of las malcriadas, those women who challenge society’s views of femininity, violence, and physicality.
Montoya’s photographs profile twelve powerful, devoted athletes who are taking advantage of the Women’s Movement and the right to live, work, and box in a man’s world. The boxers featured are from all over the United States, and include super bantamweight Jackie Chávez, holder of the IFBA Super Bantamweight Title, light middleweight Akondaye “Storm” Fountain, welterweight Christy “Coalminer’s Daughter” Martin, and lightweight Mia “The Knockout” St. John, holder of the IBA Women’s Lightweight Title and the IFBA Lightweight World Title.
