This autobiography tells the story of one of the greatest female athletes of all time who inspired a generation of women and girls. Born in Port Arthur, Texas in 1914 to Norwegian immigrant parents, Mildred Ella Didrikson was a natural at many sports, including basketball, track, and golf. She said that she got her nickname "Babe" (after Babe Ruth) when she started hitting home runs during childhood baseball games. She came to the world's attention when she won two gold medals and one silver medal for track and field at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. She later went on to become America's first female golf celebrity. In 1938 Babe married professional wrestler George Zaharias, whom she met while playing as the only woman competing in a men's golf tournament. Didrikson became America's first female golf celebrity and the leading player of the 1940s and early 1950s. In 1953 Zaharias was diagnosed with colon cancer, had surgery, recovered only to have the cancer reoccur and take her life in 1956. A very presentable copy in a brodart mylar jacket.…
