America's Champion Swimmer: Gertrude Ederle Paperback - 2005
by David A. Adler; Terry Widener (Illustrator)
Vibrant, full-color illustrations describe the life and accomplishments of Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel and a figure in the early women's rights movement. Full color.
Summary
Trudy Ederle loved to swim, and she was determined to be the best. At seventeen Trudy won three medals at the 1924 Olympics in Paris. But what she planned to do next had never been done by a woman: She would swim across the English Channel in fourteen hours and set a world record.
First line
In 1906 women were kept out of many clubs and restaurants.

Excerpt
Trudy wore a red bathing cap and a two-piece bathing suit and goggles that she and her sister had designed. To protect her from the icy water, Margaret coated Trudy with lanolin and heavy grease. The greasing took a long time--too long for Trudy. "For heaven's sake," she complained. "Let's get started."
Media reviews
"Captures the highlights of Ederle's life in evocative images and telling details."--The New York Times Book Review
