Girl running

"Because Bobbi Gibb is a girl, she's not allowed to run on her school's track team. But after school, no one can stop her--and she runs to her heart's content. She is told she can't run again when she tries to enter the Boston Marathon in 1966, because women are just not considered capable of running such a long distance. So what does Bobbi do? She bravely sets out to prove the naysayers wrong and show the world just what a girl can do"--Provided by publisher.
