"Wilma Rudolph" by Percy Leed follows the inspiring journey of an extraordinary athlete who overcame significant challenges to become an Olympic champion. Born premature and facing polio in her childhood, Wilma defied the odds through determination and hard work. Her relentless spirit propelled her to triumph at the 1960 Rome Olympics, where she became the first American woman to win three gold medals in a single Games. The book not only highlights her remarkable achievements in track and field but also emphasizes her role as a trailblazer for women in sports and an advocate for civil rights, inspiring future generations.
