Hinda Miller
Inspired by the impact of Title IX on women's participation in sports in the 1970, Miller literally sewed two jockstraps together to create the first Jogbra. Â She and her business partner built Jogbra into a successful Vermont-based enterprise, eventually selling the company to Playtex. Â With financial security, Miller focused on creating a more balanced life and various causes, and eventually a successful run in politics as a Vermont State Senator.
