“Day’s Pay Is $2,000 For Girl Toreador,” Toronto Star. May 12, 1941. Page 2. ---- Veteran bullfighter of international fame is 18-year-old Conchita Cintron. Born of a father who graduated from the U.S. military academy and a mother who is a United States citizen, Conchita started her bullfighting career at 13. She gets $2,000 for an afternoon’s performance.

In the arena at Tiajuna, Mexico, Conchita takes on a 1,200-pound enraged bull, fighting on foot in Spanish style. Cheering throngs from Portugal to Mexico have watched the slightly-built queen of the bull-fighters.

Inspirador, capacitador e inesquecível, Game Changers é o presente perfeito para quem ama os esportes.

Inspiring Women #1:  Conchita Cintrón or La Diosa de Oro ('The Golden Goddess') was a Peruvian torera (female bullfighter). Lived 1922-2009.

In the 1940s she was a big draw card on the bullfighting circuit, not only in Peru but in Mexico, Portugal, France, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, and Spanish Morocco. She even fought once in the United States, near San Francisco. She left her duende, an indelible mark in a male-dominated profession.

Definitely a Pioneer of the Possible.
