Mighty Moe

The True Story of a Thirteen-Year-Old Women's Running Revolutionary

By: Rachel Swaby, Kit Fox

Narrated by: Rachel Swaby

In 1967, a 13-year-old girl named Maureen Wilton set the women's world marathon record, running 26.2 miles in 3:15:23. Nicknamed “Little Mo” by her track teammates, Wilton was already a headline-making athlete. But her accomplishment was greeted with controversy and misogynistic accusations of cheating. Wilton receded into the background, left the sport, and kept her achievement secret. This is the story of what happened and how Maureen found her way back to the sport decades later as the mother of a young runner herself.

Inspiring story about women’s running and the culture that kept them down and then pushed them forward.

Amazing story and good reader!

The overall book was really good, but the end of it was a bit scattered. Such an interesting story to learn and well written

An easy listen

This is an easy listen. I thought the story got a bit dry at times but the ending was great, so I'm glad it picked back up.
