There are many of other people who had the goal of staying in good physical shape as Dorothy Bradley had. "Babe" Didrikson was a famous female athlete who excelled in many different sports, but her favorite was golf. When you hear the word famous athlete you automatically think that she was skinny and in shape. She was indeed, but she wasn't just born that way. Any athlete, especially Didrikson, had to work for these acomplishments. She worked out and stayed in shape to become a titled "famous athlete". This also ties into the story about Dorothy Bradley because she worked out and bettered her diet and body, and had a great outcome. While Babe dropped out of school to become this stellar athlete, she was hated for it by many men. This was a period of sexism where she was supposed to be at home "all prettied up and waited for the phone to ring". In comparison to Bradley we see both females working out to achieve something.
