A life-altering event as defined by, Dictionary.com, is an event that alters someone's life or circumstances in a substantial way. What Dictionary.com does not state is that a life-altering event can be as little as telling someone that you like their shoes, because that can alter someone's way of thinking if they were having a bad day. In the case of these four women in sports they did not necessarily plan on impacting and changing people's lives when they started out but they did. They forced a new way of thinking and respect for women upon society, and changed the lives for generations of women to come. All of these women have one thing in common they were the FIRSTS in their sport that they helped to innovate.
