Rappoport, Ken

Ladies First: Women Athletes Who Made a Difference

147 pp. | Peachtree | April, 2005 | Trade ISBN 1-56145-338-2 $14.95
(3) 4-6 A readable format profiles twelve women athletes and one basketball team who overcame the odds. Rappoport skillfully creates suspense and immediacy by setting the scene for and telling the story of each woman's goal--swimming the English Channel, racing in the Iditarod, etc.--then detailing her life and training. This is an unassuming book that should inspire girls. Bib.
