1) Hardcover Book Marathon Woman: Running the Race to Revolutionize Women's Sports by Carroll & Graf. Wow, I loved this book. I remember reading an excerpt from it somewhere online several months ago and I was so engrossed in it that I finally had to buy the book recently. And I was not disappointed - the entire book was incredibly easy and engaging to read. The only minor exception was that the last third of the book kind of got away from what made the book so interesting the first 2/3, but overall I would still give the book five stars without a thought. I can´t remember the last time I enjoyed reading a book as much as I did this one.¤

3) Hardcover Book Marathon Woman: Running the Race to Revolutionize Women's Sports by Carroll & Graf. As a woman born in 1980, I really had never grasped the concept of what the generation before my birth had done. I never really understood what the world believed about the abilities of women. Katherine Switzer´s story is powerful and amazing. I´m so glad I could grow up believing that I could do anything. The book is well written and powerful.¤

4) Hardcover Book Marathon Woman: Running the Race to Revolutionize Women's Sports by Carroll & Graf. This was hands down one of the most inspiring running books I´ve ever read. Kathrine´s foresight into the sport of running amazes me - we can thank her not only for bringing the women´s marathon to the 1984 Olympic games but also for today´s modern marathon "comforts" that didn´t exist when she first hit the streets of Boston.
I read this while training for a marathon and her story kept me going during those long and painful runs. This book is a must-read for any runner, male or female.¤

It´s a must-read for marathoners and entertaining for anyone else who´s ever shared in the excitement of witnessing and/or participating in a sporting event.¤
