In 1977, Melissa Ludtke, a Sports Illustrated baseball reporter, was told that she was banned from reporting in the locker rooms because she was a woman. In 1978, she went to court with the federal case Ludtke v. Kuhn and won, creating an equal access policy for reporters in Major League Baseball. She took the time to share her entire story from start to finish, discussing the exclusion she and the other women in the “male-dominated culture” felt, along with what still needs to change today.
