An Inspiring Talk with Kathrine Switzer
Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to enter and complete the Boston Marathon. She accomplished this feat in 196
7 and given the view towards women in sports at the time, it was an accomplishment not without drama. After an official tried to force her off the course, Ms. Switzer not only finished the marathon but also knew then and there that she was going to change the world for women. And she has spent the last 46 years doing just that.
