Ten top female jockeys tell how they overcame personal and professional obstacles to rise to the top of Thoroughbred horse racing. Their narratives detail childhood passions, adult strivings, and intense athleticism, and offer compelling stories of how these accomplished riders shattered an all-male arena. An introduction explores larger issues of women in sport, sexism in horse racing, struggles female jockeys faces, and the significance of their success. Includes b&w photos and a glossary. No index.
