Rusty's memoir is a love story filled with passion and righteousness-for her sport, her family, and her way of life as a judoka. Often called a pioneer, Rusty was an unsung hero in the fight to give women voice and agency, in life and in sports. She did not see human limitations, only possibilities. The establishment told her 'no,' but 'no' was not a part of her vocabulary. Instead, Rusty fought like hell, and won.In her own words, Rusty decided to 'be the hammer,' not the nail.…
