Bennett Sisters, American Vaudeville Act

The Bennett Sisters were not amateur or professional boxers, but a vaudeville act, that traveled the country, displaying their talent, between 1910 and 1915. While many women took up sport in the Edwardian era, boxing as a vaudeville act became a career for these sisters. Laura Bennett is said to have dominated the sport at the turn of the century. They would also wrestle and sometimes fence each other.
