       2017., Enslow Pub. Call No: 796.082    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: "It's hard to believe, but there was a time not long ago when girls and women were discouraged from participating in sports. Thanks to the women who ignored society's rules and also to a piece of legislation called Title IX, girls in the United States--and around the world--began flocking to tracks, fields, and courts to enjoy all the benefits that come from playing a sport. This book celebrates women athletes through the ages, from early Olympians to present powerhouses like Serena Williams and Missy Franklin. Also included are chapter notes, a glossary, a further reading section containing books and websites, and an index"--From the publisher's web site.

       2023., Pre-adolescent, Scholastic Focus Call No: BIOGRAPHY NF LOW   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: "Everything seemed set against Chaunte Lowe. Growing up with a single mother in Paso Robles, California, where she experienced food insecurity, homelessness, and domestic abuse, Chaunte couldn't imagine a future that offered a different sort of life. But then, one day, she turned on the TV and there was Flo Jo, competing in the Olympics and shattering records in track and field. Almost immediately, Chaunte knew what she wanted to do. She started running. With the help of a small community of friends, family, and coaches, Chaunte worked as hard as she could - both in the classroom and out on the sports field--and through her own fierce determination and grit, she overcame every imaginable obstacle, eventually propelling herself to the place she always dreamed about: the Olympic medal podium. Boundless is a story that will move anyone who's ever had a big dream, ever dared to hope for a better future, and ever believed that nothing was impossible. In her own words, Chaunte presents her remarkable and inspiring story of loss and survival, perseverance and hope"--Provided by publisher.
