Babe was born in 1911 and died in 1956. Many accomplishments: helped start the LPGA, first American to win the British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship, and many, many others. She lived for awhile in Denver. What was most striking for me was how much times have changed. She crossed the Atlantic by ocean liner. She worked for an insurance company that had its own women's basketball team (!) and supported her as a golfer. She gives a few hints as to how she approached a golf game. She worked hard.

Babe Zaharias and I share a hometown and I've always been curious about her life. This book was fascinating to me, in that I got a glimpse into her remarkable life and learned so much that I didn't know.

Great read

I heard about Babes story on the radio, what an incredible woman. She tells her story in a direct no fuss manner, and to be honest I couldn't put the book down, the first time I've felt that way about a book in about ten years.

I read this book back in the 1980s. It was in a discarded pile at my local library. I had no idea who Babe was at the time that I picked it up. I enjoyed biographies, even back then, so I thought that I'd give it a whirl.

Revisiting this book is like spending time with an old friend. Babe is warm and accessible to us common folks. In fact, that is what she was and how she saw herself. She had bragging rights but never used them. She was a hard worker who pushed herself past her own limits to help out her family financially. She just happened to set world records and earn Olympic medals in the process.
