Babe Didrikson Zaharias was arguably the greatest woman athlete the world has ever seen. She was an All-American basketball player, an Olympic gold medalist in track and field, and a championship golfer who won eighty-two amateur and professional tournaments. She also mastered tennis, played exhibition baseball, and was an accomplished diver and bowler. Six times she was voted "Woman Athlete of the Year" by the Associated Press. Most significantly, Babe accomplished all of this prior to 1960, at a time when "nice girls" didn't take part in sports that made them perspire too much. Bursting with self-confidence and determined to do what felt natural, Babe redefined how female athletes, and women in general, were expected to act by defying convention time and time again. Animated by the reminiscences of Babe's friends, family, and competitors, and illustrated with rare archival photographs, this probing biography by Newbery medalist Russell Freedman brings to life one of the most entertaining and courageous figures in the history of sport -- Babe Didrikson Zaharias.
