Young Woman and the Sea（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　In 1926, before skirt lengths inched above the knee and before
anyone was ready to accept that a woman could test herself
physically, a plucky American teenager named Trudy Ederle captured
the imagination of the world when she became the first woman to
swim the English Channel. It was, and still is, a feat more
incredible and uncommon than scaling Mount Everest. Upon her return
to the United States, “Trudy of America” became the most famous
woman in the world. And just as quickly, she disappeared from the
public eye. Set against the backdrop of the roaring 1920s, Young
Woman and the Sea is the dramatic and inspiring story of Ederles
pursuit of a goal no one believed possible, and the price she paid.
The moment Trudy set foot on land, triumphant, she had shattered
centuries of stereotypes and opened doors for generations of women
to come. A truly magnetic and often misunderstood character whose
story is largely forgotten, Trudy Ederle comes alive in these pages
through Glenn Stouts exhaustive new research.
