Warts and all story about probably the greatest female athlete of all timeBy CustomerWarts and all story about probably the greatest female athlete of all time. Stunning is all you can say about her accomplishments (and ego).1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. a great readBy KittygemI 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.14 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Great book! And not just for sports fans!By Kate JI had heard of Babe Didrikson before I read the book but had no idea what an amazing athlete she was! A female Jim Thorpe. Beyond her athletic achievements; she was a fantastic character and her life was filled with both major achievements and challenges - her sporting life as well as her personal life. If she was alive today she would easily be among the most famous athletes in the world.Any sports fan will of course love this book. But its not just for sports fan. Babe was such a character and lived such an interesting life that you don't have to be a sports fan to love this book.
