Muriel Bower

Muriel (Bower) Taitt is an American foilist, coach, and educator.

She is author of the foilist's classic textbook Foil Fencing, now in its 8th edition.

President Miguel de Capriles identified her as "a sensational teen-age Pacific Coast champion before the war [who subsequently] returned to competition to win a well-earned No.

She is one of the small but bright cluster of California women who dominated the national fencing scene in those years".

Uyttenhove was fencing master at the Los Angeles Athletic Club, to which Fairbanks belonged.
