A movie worth watching...

Young Woman and the Sea 



It's the story of Trudy Ederle who was the first woman to swim the English Channel at a time when the idea of women participating in any kind of sport was not only frowned upon but thought improper and unsafe. Good thing Trudy Ederle didn't listen to any of the naysayers. Talk about an excellent movie! I highly recommend it. It's based on the book by Glenn Stout...which I now want to read.

    1. Trudy's story is definitely one worth both a book and a movie! She was in the 1924 Olympics as one of the first women athletes the US sent.
