What happened in women's history today?

Happy birthday to Israeli political leader Golda Meir, civil rights activist and educator Septima Clark (1898-1986), and writer (1912-1995) May Sarton. Also on today's date in 1974 was when Billie Jean King founded The Women's Sports Foundation, an organization which works to "advance the lives of girls and women through sports and physical activity."
