The perils of Bertha
Associated Press · April 11, 1956
Bertha Trujillo, 26, is a lady bullfighter whose battles with the bulls in her native Colombia have caused brave men to blanch. Recently in a Palmira ring she was knocked down seven times in 15 minutes. At top Bertha comes close to bull's horns as she puts banderillas in its hide. A moment later Bertha is almost impaled as bull's horn passes between her legs pinning her against wall while a helper tries to distract the bull.
