Aimed at the YA group as you might expect. Good general overview except for one thing. No mention of Janet Guthrie's NASCAR racing career. She competed in that series as well as Indy cars.

Here is another book that I decided to use for the girls in the classroom. This shows that it isn't just guys who become professional athletes and that women can accomplish the same things in life that men can.
