“When Gertrude Ederle struck out from France she left behind her a world which has believed for a great many centuries that woman is the weaker vessel. Much of government, most of law and practically all of morality is based upon this assumption. And when her toes touched the sands of England, she stepped out of the water into a brand-new world. It may be that she will turn out to be an even greater discoverer than Columbus. It was only a continent which he found.”
Gavin Mortimer, The Great Swim
