Fast Girls

 

Fast girls : a novel of the 1936 Women's Olympic team by Elise Hooper, read by a cast 499 pgs.

A compelling story of women athletes at a time when there was some question if running might damage a woman.  There were members of the Olympic committee arguing against women even participating.  Here is a story of several participants of the 1936 Olympics but also some back story about each.  Enjoyable and mostly based on fact but I could only wonder how much better non-fiction would have been.
