Get
to
know
the
first
woman
to
ever
run
in
the
Boston
Marathon
in
this
fascinating
nonfiction
Level
3
Ready-to-Read,
part
of
a
series
of
biographies
about
people
“you
should
meet!”Meet
Roberta
Gibb.
In
1966,
Roberta
was
the
first
woman
ever
to
run
in
the
Boston
Marathon.
When
Roberta
applied
for
the
event
she
received
a
letter
saying
women
were
not
physically
able
to
run
marathons
and
therefore
her
request
was
denied.
Roberta
decided
to
run
anyway,
and
told
her
mom,
“This
is
really
going
to
change
things
for
women.”
She
disguised
her
appearance
with
a
blue
hooded
sweatshirt
pulled
up
over
her
head
and
her
brother’s
Bermuda
shorts.
Instead
of
being
ridiculed,
when
the
men
running
realized
she
was
a
woman,
they
cheered
her
on
as
she
became
the
first
woman
to
ever
complete
the
Boston
marathon!A
special
section
at
the
back
of
the
book
includes
extras
on
subjects
like
history
and
math,
plus
exercise
and
nutrition
tips
for
kids.
With
the
You
Should
Meet
series,
learning
about
historical
figures
has
never
been
so
much fun!
