Beauty and the Beast
Spanish bullfighter Ana Infante knows how to stand her ground.

She's been gored more than once, but Spanish bullfighter Ana Infante knows how to stand her ground.
Killing a large woolly mammal does not top most women's wish lists, but Ana Infante, in her mid-20s, has been training as a bullfighter since age 13. Gender is no obstacle. "The bull doesn't ask what sex someone is," she says. "He just wants respect.
A fight can last several hours. "I've been in a few dangerous ones," Infante says. "Once I faced a bull who, although I didn't know it, had already been in a fight." (Bulls with previous experience aren't used because they quickly learn to become killers.) "I was scared. It was a real life-or-death situation."
As for battle scars: "One bull gored me in my shoulder during a fight, and now I have an artificial bone there," she says. She has also had knee, hand, and groin injuries. It's not exactly a lifestyle that lends itself to domesticity, but Infante alludes to a secret crush: "I follow the bullfighter's maxim: 'To ply this trade, you have to be solitary, crazy, and unmarried — and you have to be in love.'"
