"I find that this book tells the story of courageous and remarkable women that has brought the opportunities for todayâs girls in a positive and fun way even though the fight has not always been easy. But this book captures history in way where the first thought is strength and will of these remarkable ladies.
It is also a good book to remind that it is not that long ago that we were in a very different situation still. A good reminder that even though there are still things and attitudes to change, womenâs sport has come a long way to the point we had in Buenos Aires Youth Olympic Games for the first time ever, 50/50 female and male athletes competing!"
âEmma Terho, a multiple-time Olympic and Womenâs World Championship bronze medalist
