Amby Burfoot has been following the women's running movement for 50 years and in this book, Burfoot presents 20 inspiring stories of the women runners from the 1960s, 70s, 80s, and 90s who have shaped the face of running, including an incredible profile of Joan Benoit Samuelson, the winner of the first ever Olympic women's Marathon in Los Angeles in 1984. From there, women's running grew in popularity. Ten years later, in 1994, Oprah Winfrey ran her first marathon, and Burfoot was there to chronicle the effect it had on the women's running world. Running became the sport for women to embrace, setting into motion a widespread women's running boom that continues unabated to this day, with women now making up 50 percent of the running population.
The other equally divine women featured in The First Ladies of Running, including legends such as Grete Waitz and Kathrine Switzer, personify inspiration. Women struggled against entrenched cultural and gender barriers, and they refused to give up. They believed too strongly in their individual rights, personal goals, and gender equality-and they loved running too much-to let it go. This book is a beautiful tribute to the pioneers of women's running and a gift of inspiration and empowerment for female runners everywhere.
