Fast Girls: A Novel of the 1936 Women’s Olympic Team

US sprinters Betty, Louise, and Helen are determined to chase their Olympic dreams, from the 1928 games that were the first to admit female track athletes, to the infamous 1936 Berlin Games of Adolf Hitler. Faced with sexism, racism, and the Great Depression at a time when women were discouraged from taking part in athletics, this novel – based on real events – interweaves a series of narratives that culminate in the 1936 Games and the race to determine who will be the fastest woman in the world.
