Women of the 1932 Olympics
DORIS H. PIEROTH
The 37 women who competed for the U.S. in Los Angeles in 1932 catapulted the Olympics and women's athletics into the nation's consciousness. Pieroth's interviews with the athletes and observers, along with quotes from journalists Damon Runyon and Paul Gallico, reveal the extraordinary courage and stamina it took to challenge the barriers in a world abounding with stereotypes about women.
