Marathon Woman: Running the Race to Revolutionize Women’s Sports by Kathrine Switzer

Marathoning had always been a sport for men until Kathrine Switzer. In Marathon Woman, she details the challenges she faced while trying to popularize the woman’s marathon.

Switzer’s passion for running exceeds her drive to support woman’s running, and through this book she is able to illustrate just how important running has been in her life.

She tells an honest and hilarious story of how she was able to get her foot into the door of running, and spread the woman’s marathon throughout the world.

This is one of the best running books I have read. I am completely in awe of Switzer and inspired to step up to the challenges of my own life.
