Martha☀’s Reviews > First Ladies of Running: 22 Inspiring Profiles of the Rebels, Rule Breakers, and Visionaries Who Changed the Sport Forever > Status Update

I am enjoying this lesson in history so far but, already, I have spent more time on the computer doing my own follow-up research about women runners. Although this American-focused history has women being limited to a maximum of 200m distances in 1960, Europe has its first female 100km road racer that same year. This book is a limited history as the USA had prohibition-type rules for women athletes for decades.
