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

3.0

---

I thought this was an interesting and insightful look into the world of professional running especially told from a woman's point of view. This book is told in two styles: memoir and manifesto. I thought it was eye opening to see what Fleshman went through as a professional runner. It's a volatile lifestyle, especially for women. Her life was still filled with quite a bit of privilege and she acknowledges that at the end of the book. The manifesto portion backed up her experiences by giving facts about what women face in this male dominated world. Reading this during the 2024 Olympics, I'm happy to see women supporting other women during the Olympic games.
