Kathrine Switzer
Women were not able to participate in any sport that men were doing because they were seen as "less than" men and they weren't seen as powerful as men. But Kathrine Switzer was the first women to run the Boston Marathon. She snuck to be in the Marathon showing that she was not a male but later on in the race someone saw that she was a women and they immediately took her off, then her boyfriend that was way bigger than everyone that was pushing her away politely stopped them and pushed them. They allowed her to finished the race but she was not able to do this again.

It's interesting how Mr. Stewart always says that you must break a law to change it. In terms of social stigma, Switzer shows that it might work the same way.
