Little, Brown

Good for a Girl is professional runner Lauren Fleshmans powerful memoir about her career at the highest levels of competitive running, and the systemic ways the sport has failed female athletes. Fleshman writes candidly about body image, injury, coaching culture, and what it really takes for girls and women to thrive in a sport built around a male body as the default. Part memoir, part manifesto, this is an essential and eye-opening read for anyone who has ever run, coached, or cared about an athlete.
