I breezed through this engaging memoir! Kathrine Switzer shares her infamous experience of being yanked off the Boston Marathon course back in the day when women weren't allowed to run more than 1 1/2 miles for fear their uteruses would fall out! She finished and set into motion the advancement of women in sports. It's really an amazing story and I couldn't put it down.
