The water released her from her pain and helped her build strong muscle–and a powerful spirit. As a child with polio in the early 1900s, swimming set her free. I really enjoyed reading about Ethelda’s life, and soon you’ll be able to as well!įrom the publisher: Ethelda Bleibtrey was a girl with guts who loved the water.
I have the opportunity to celebrate the cover reveal of a new book out in July, and it’s even my favorite genre! Ethelda not only pioneered therapeutic treatments for individuals with polio (which she had as a child) but she also went on a quest for better swim costumes for women at a time when such a thing was considered outlandish.
