About the Book
Yes, She Can! celebrates ground-breaking female athletes who became the first—and sometimes only—women to achieve at the highest levels of their sports.
Featuring Trudy Ederle, the subject of Young Woman and the Sea, the Disney+ biopic starring Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley.
In this middle grade collection of sporting heroines these pioneers show girls that anything is possible with grit, determination, and practice.
The ahletes include:
- Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel
- Louise Stokes and Tidye Pickett, the first African American women to race on the Olympic track team
- Julie Krone, the first female winner of a Triple Crown race
- Danica Patrick, the only woman to win an IndyCar Series race
