a pioneer of female bodybuilding 
Considered by most to
be the greatest female bodybuilder who ever lived, Kay Baxter has the marked
distinction of also being among the first wave of female bodybuilders to
become well known and widely recognized. She did much to advance the sport
and remains to this day the spiritual leader among female bodybuilders
the world over.
Kay Baxter can be given credit for many of the trends that have become staples of the female bodybuilder lifestyle. She was one of the first to promote wrestling as a fun and lucrative means of income and entertainment, taking advantage of the strength and size that could be attained by the female physique through rigorous work outs. Her personality was naturally dominant and she used this to her advantage, going out of her way to meet people, including housewives, college students and children and introducing them to female bodybuilding. She raised the new sport to an art form; introducing dance and fetish wear into her posing routines. Limber and charismatic, Kay can also be credited for creating the field of fitness competition.    |
