Wonder Girl: The Magnificent Sporting Life of Babe Didrikson Zaharias: Don Van Natta Jr.: 9780316056991: Amazon.com: Books

I enjoyed reading this book about Babe Didriksen. It’s too bad she is not well known these days. A lot of women athletes owe their accomplishments to her and the fact that she made it easier for women to compete in sports. I gave it a 4 because the writing style was a bit confusing to me. At times it felt like you were reading now and looking back at her life while other times it felt like you were really there. Anyway, overall I like the book and it also comes with photos. This book should be mandatory reading in high school or college, in courses about women’s studies or for those students studying sports management. The accomplishments of this great woman athlete should be better known by younger generation students.
