The Ladies of pool, where are they now?

[ShootingArts]

Tammy(Tammie) Wesley Jones was a friend that moved into women's pro pool in the eighties. She moved and I didn't keep up with her. Caught up with her a little through AZB, she said that she was ranked pretty high for awhile. Fun lady to be around! Just friends but we were friends and I'm sad when I think about her being gone.

the only reason there are more male pool players at serious levels is because there are way more men into pool.

I like Mike Page’s analogy: it’s like comparing the best players in a county to the best players in the country.

Not really a "where are they now"...but this looks to be from the early days of the internet and has quite a few pretty cool pics about the people being mentioned in this thread....plus a few other well known names from back in the day.

what I dont get is why there would be any separation in the first place

It's been discussed a lot on this forum, and what (I believe) it boils down to is that men are just naturally more aggressive.

There's very strong scientific evidence that men and women have significantly different visual processing abilities. Gestational testosterone seems to change which parts of the vision- processing brain develop more. Women render colors more accurately and men render moving objects and object resolution better. When your wife or gf can't figure out why you call everything from an orange to a red wine "red" it is because men literally don't see color as well. The upside is seeing shapes better and moving objects better.

The eyes have it: Men and women do see things differently, study of brain's visual centers finds

The way that the visual centers of men and women’s brains works is different, finds new research. Men have greater sensitivity to fine detail and rapidly moving stimuli, but women are better at discriminating between colors.

And dumb enough to put much aside, just to knock balls around a table.

its not a new fallacy, it's got roots !
I find this very hard to read, its so blurry, but if you can read it , there is a funny bit that basically says the woman should play pool, its a great pastime, fun to play , but that a woman shouldn't practice so much she gets better than her husband ;-)
you can read into it the mentality, Brunswick realized pool had a bad rep, as it was related to gambling joints and other male dominated establishments, and BBC was trying to get women into the sport, to sell more tables. get them into people's homes.

Surely there is a non blurred out version somewhere on the web. I can remember back when a web search wasn't only finding links to stuff for sale. .....Then along came google who sells the search result priority.
