- from our Affiliates
Lead by retired bareback rider Josephine Demott Robinson and acrobat Zella Florence, the female performers of Barnum and Bailey Circus gathered for the first time in March of 1912 at the Madison Square Garden's Animal Menagerie. The 800-member-strong, "Suffragette Ladies of the Barnum and Bailey Circus†were an amazing array of star performers and artists including Katie Sandwina, the Lady Hercules, who despite being 6'1†and possessing extraordinary strength, was still viewed as a paragon of femininity and womanliness.
