Review: As a Physical Education teacher and former Chair of a SUNY Department of Health and Physical Education, I found this book to be an excellent resource. It is well researched, compulsively thorough, and presented clearly. The book is a boon for those looking for any information related to women's track and field from its inception in 1895 to 1980. It follows the significant setbacks and victories of women's track and field in an interesting narrative backed up by reams of statistics.
