Women's Hall of Fame Series explores the contributions and achievements of women around the world. Each book focuses on a specific area of endeavour. This collection features ten women athletes from around the world, including largely forgotten Olympian, Bobbi Rosenfeld, considered by many experts to be Canada's most accomplished female athlete of the first half of the twentieth century. Other amazing women athletes include a mountain climber, a skater, and a disabled woman who each became champions in their sports. Among the athletes included are US mountain climber Annie Smith Peck, Canadian Bobbie Rosenfeld, curling star Sandra Schmirler, American jockey Julie Krone, Chinese figure skater Chen Lu and Venus and Serena Williams. With photographs, boxed and illustrative material.
