More context is needed...

The claim that Trixie Friganza inspired "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is not widely supported by historical evidence. Trixie Friganza was a popular vaudeville performer and actress in the early 20th century, known for her comedic performances and songs. While she was a prominent figure in the entertainment world during that time, there is no definitive proof that she directly inspired the creation of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."

The song's creators, Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer, have primarily been associated with the inspiration stemming from Norworth's experience of seeing an ad for a baseball game while on the subway. While it's possible that Friganza's performances may have slightly influenced the broader cultural landscape of the time, the specific connection to the song itself is not exactly well-documented. The song remains primarily linked to the themes of baseball and the joy of attending a game, and Katie Casey's desire to attend a ballgame as opposed to a show etc, and not directly anything to do with a feminist agenda.
