cristina sanchez

I had no idea there are female bullfighters. Very cool!

thanks! cristina sanchez retired in 1999. she could have fought much longer but became tired of prejudice against her by male bullfighters. i don't think there has been any prominent 'matadoras' after her. i suppose spain is a very macho country and cannot have a woman doing the same thing that men do.

It's too bad that she retired early, but prejudice is a terrible thing to face everyday. Still, what an amazing career.

There's apparently a short documentary from 1996 - I'd love to see it sometime. review
