<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4660" src="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kathrine-Switzer-participates-in-Boston-Marathon.jpg" alt="Kathrine Switzer participates in Boston Marathon" width="880" height="590" srcset="https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kathrine-Switzer-participates-in-Boston-Marathon.jpg 880w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kathrine-Switzer-participates-in-Boston-Marathon-300x201.jpg 300w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kathrine-Switzer-participates-in-Boston-Marathon-768x515.jpg 768w, https://oldpics.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kathrine-Switzer-participates-in-Boston-Marathon-360x241.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px" />Kathrine Switzer was one of the <a href="https://oldpics.net/womens-rights-march-to-the-statue-of-liberty-1978/">feminists who realized</a> that the world of the 1960s wasn&#8217;t as equal as they dreamt. For example, women couldn&#8217;t participate in the Boston Marathon, one of the world&#8217;s most honorable races.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&#8217;s hard to realize nowadays, but in the 60s, people believed that a woman was physically unable to cover a distance of 42 km. And why do they need it when the world has such amazing things as<a href="https://oldpics.net/a-housewife-from-1950s/"> cooking, children, and cleaning?</a> But Kathrine Switzer obviously had a different point of view.</span></p>
<h3>The disguised try of Bobbi Gibb</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Frankly speaking, Bobby Gibb became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon in 1966, a year earlier than Kathrine Switzer. But 24-year-old Bobby ran it illegally: she jumped out of the bushes at the start and joined the group of male runners.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And let&#8217;s note that male runners supported Bobbi Gibb. Interestingly, she even took off the oversized sweater that hid her gender. The spectators noticed a woman among the athletes and greeted her with applause and cheer. Moreover, at the finish line, the Governor of Massachusetts was already waiting for Bobby to personally shake the athlete&#8217;s hand. Bobbie ran the distance in 3 hours and 21 minutes.</span></p>
<h3>Kathrine Switzer runs against all the odds.</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For 20-year-old Kathrine Switzer, everything was much more dramatic (and the marathon ended in only four hours). She decided to run openly upon the registration. Since the name &#8220;K.Switzer &#8220;could belong to a man, Kathrine had no problems until the very start. The trouble began right after the whistle.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Katharine recalled that one of the organizers yelled, &#8220;Get the hell out of my marathon!&#8221; right at the start. One of them pounced on her and tried to take her off the track. Fortunately, her friend Tom Miller ran next to Kathrine. He pushed the organizer away and guarded the girl during the run.</span></p>
<h3>The historical importance of Kathrine Switzer&#8217;s try.</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It may seem that two examples of successful tries should demonstrate that women run just as well as men. But the Boston Athletic Association had a different point of view. They strictly prohibited the participation of women in the marathon. It took another five years for women to get the right to race shoulder to shoulder with men.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, the photo in which organizer attacks Kathrine served as a front-page illustration for all American newspapers. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This image remains one of the symbols of women&#8217;s struggle for their rights.</span></p>

<p>It seems like a cat on this photo didn’t know that The Animal Rescue League in Boston was founded in 1899 by social worker Anna Harris and it was supposed to make animal lives better. Organization’s philosophy meant to take dogs and cats off the streets, teach of thoughtful kindness, and change families, communities, and a nation.</p>



<p>This concept launched the creation of an organization that has grown to respond to animals in need throughout Eastern Massachusetts and beyond. But these greek <a href="https://oldpics.net/cats-waiting-for-fishermen-to-return-greece-1970s/">cats, waiting for fishers</a> on the bank, look a bit happier than this cat, escaping The Animal Rescue League.</p>
