  • Her story is now also told for a juvenile audience 9-14, in Yes She Can! Women's Sports Pioneers, by Glenn Stout

  • Now available on Kindle.

  • You need not care one whit about swimming, women breaking sports barriers or events of the 1920s to be gripped by sportswriter Glenn Stout's fast-paced account The descriptions of the interaction between Trudy and her crew, Mr. Burgess' plotting of the Z-shape route, the almost hourly press dispatches sent, the hazards Trudy overcame as the storms came, the swells grew and the tide changed earlier than expected are breathtaking.

    -The Washington Times
