A lot of women rode the Wall of Death back in the 30's and 40's. The idea was, and still is that the ladies attract spectators. The list of women wall riders is lengthy with names like Doris Gray, Jean Holland, Crazy Clare, Betty Ellis, Julie French and more recently Samantha Morgan.
When you fell on the wall it didn't matter which gender you were, you stll broke bones and sustained injuries. There are still some women riders out there, my hat is off to the ladies !
