Janet Bonnema[edit]

(

)

... that in 1972 Colorado engineering technician Janet Bonnema legally challenged the superstition that a woman who went underground into a tunnel or mine brought bad luck? Source: "The old superstition that says there's no telling what dangers might ensue if a woman goes underground is the legacy of Welsh miners who came to work in Colorado in the 1850s. Janet doesn't think that superstition is legal". (LIFE, pp. 49-50)
