They said girls couldn’t run. They were wrong.
For generations, women fought for the right to compete, to be measured, and to be taken seriously in the world of sports. Faster, Higher, Stronger: A History of Women’s Track and Field tells that unforgettable story with energy, heart, and clarity designed especially for readers ages 10–14.
From ancient footraces to the groundbreaking 1928 Olympics, from the first banned marathon runners to today’s global superstars, this book reveals how women and girls transformed track and field into one of the most exciting and inclusive sports in the world.
Readers will discover:
The brave pioneers who started racing before they were allowed to
The records, rivalries, and breakthroughs that shaped the sport
How science, training, and technology changed women’s performances
Legendary athletes like Wilma Rudolph, Florence Griffith Joyner, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and modern champions
Why today’s girls are the future of track and field
Told in vivid narrative chapters—not lists—this book is perfect for classrooms, young athletes, sports fans, and any girl who wants to understand how far women have come on the track—and how far the next generation will go.
Inspiring. Educational. Empowering.
The starting line is here. The next chapter belongs to you.
