Marian Trimiar is one of the first women along with Jackie Tonawanda and Cat Davis, to gain a boxing license in New York in December 1975.

She is considered the all-rounder of the three pioneers and like Davis, has some of her career record documented.

Other accounts state Cat Davis as getting her license first.

By Trimiar’s account, she had 25 ranked bouts and a record of 21-4.

Trimiar had a sour relationship with fellow pioneer Tonawanda and in a 1998 interview had some suspicions about aspects of her career.
