Rosenfeld, a Jew bona in Russia in 1903 but raised in Barrie, Ontario, where her parents ran an antique/junk shop, was named Canada's female athlete of the half-century in 1950. She excelled in many sports, including track and field, softball, hockey, and basketball. She was part of the "Matchless Six," the Canadian women's contingent at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics which won the most points of any female team, beating out, for instance, the United States, which had three times as many members.
