Today, millions of women and girls around the world enjoy running and entering races. It wasn't always so: 
 
 
 
● In 1961, when Julia Chase edged to the start of a Connecticut 5-miler, officials tried to push her off the road. 
 
 
 
● At the 1966 Boston Marathon, Roberta Gibb hid behind a forsythia bush, worried that police might arrest her. 
 
 
 
● The next year at Boston, Kathrine Switzer was assaulted mid-race by a furious race organizer. 
 
 
 
● In the mid-60s, Indianapolis high schooler Cheryl Bridges was told not to run anywhere near the boys' track team because she might "distract" them.

The definitive chronicle of Liverpool's footballing renaissance under Arne Slot, filled with exclusive interviews and unparalleled insight
An engrossing and inspiring account of a new manager’s remarkable rise to prominence.
Arne Slot arrived at Liverpool FC with little fanfare but a burning ambition. As a relatively unknown figure in English football, his appointment was met with scepticism.
