Good for a Girl: A Woman Running in a Man's World by Lauren Fleshman

4.0

emotional funny inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

Loooooved this memoir and I appreciated how she reflected on her past and learned about intersectional feminism and acknowledges that for most of her life/career she had been advocating for women most like herself and now understands that there are other factors that affect women of color differently than white women. I appreciated the look inside the running community and how prevalent disordered eating is if not full blown eating disorders. Reminded me of when I was in high school and my coach asked me if I’d gained weight and said that every extra pound is a tenth of a second on your time in the 100m.
