The purpose of this research is to find out the important achievements of Laura Huestler and the contributions she has made to the athletic department at the University of Illinois. Our main research questions are: What were sports like for women growing up? How was she treated differently than males in sport? Did becoming a professor enhance her pull in the athletic department? Was she treated differently because she played field hockey, not tennis or something more feminine? Did anything in her childhood influence her beliefs of equality in sport?
