Fast Girls blew me away. I so enjoyed reading about women I had never heard of. It's always strange to hear of women that were trailblazers, but not taught in any school curriculum. Helen, Bette, and Louise were amazing to learn about. How passionate they were about seeing women compete in the Olympics as well as the push they had to compete in a place they weren't completely welcome. There was a lot of support for each other as well as understanding of how they got to compete in 1936 at Berlin. I loved reading this book. I felt like even though it's a fictional book, I learned a lot about the real events of women being able to compete in the Olympics. It got me all fired up for Tokyo 2020!
