"This biography documents how Canadian Olympic medallist, Bobbie Rosenfeld, changed the way society viewed female athletes. As a young Jewish woman playing sports when it was unbecoming for a woman to be an athlete, Rosenfeld overcame many barriers. Rosenfeld immigrated to Canada in 1905 and became a star player in ice hockey and softball. She also excelled in tennis and track and field, leading Canada’s relay team to an Olympic gold medal and winning a silver medal herself in the 100-metre event in 1928. Bobbie Rosenfeld is remembered not only for her athletic skills, but also for her kindness and her drive for equality. Dublin provides interesting tidbits about the Olympics, the different decades, and the historical events that occurred from 1900-1950 both in Canada and the world."--Ministry of Education website.
