Download or read book Barefoot Texas Tomboy written by Joyce McCain Hartman and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: This autobiography follows the life of Joyce McCain Hartman through the childhood traumas that twisted her self-concept as well as her perspective on relationships to others, tracking the self-destructive behavior into which her "misbeliefs" led. About half of the book details the events of her life while the other describes how she was set free from the bondage of the past. BAREFOOT TEXAS TOMBOY is aimed primarily toward those who have had similar problems. It also brings a fresh look at historical episodes from one whose life started at about the same time as Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and lived to see the coming of REA, the shift from rural to urban life in the United States, World War II, the sexual revolution, the war on segregation, and the arrival of electronics. Biography: Born on a farm in 1931, Joyce McCain Hartman completed college, taught for three years, became a counselor for ten years. After two failed marriages, she wed Clarence Hartman in 1969 and became a full-time homemaker, an occupation she considered her most challenging. In addition to family she was free to follow her own interests: music, composing, art, puppetry, and writing. She participated in her church, community and in Aglow, Intl. She gave birth to three children and has six step-children. Writing continues to occupy her time.

Download or read book Babe written by Susan E. Cayleff and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most gifted athletes in the world, Babe Didrikson Zaharias dominated track and field, winning two Olympic gold medals in 1932. She went on to compete in baseball, bowling, basketball, tennis, and particularly in golf. The American public was smitten with her wit, frankness, and "unladylike" bravado. She became an American legend. The legend was challenged, however, by members of the press and society who insinuated that her femininity, even her femaleness, were suspect--that there was something different, even wrong, about this preternaturally gifted woman in a male-dominated world. She had ably used her androgyny and her powerful athleticism to promote herself, but she soon felt compelled to craft herself into a more marketable female role model--particularly in connection with the "proper" world of golf. To increase her opportunities for competitive play in this field, she became a co-founder and officer of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA). As a major step in her makeover, Babe already had married George Zaharias, a wrestling promoter who was a vital partner in her constant efforts at self-promotion. But by 1950 Babe was deeply involved with a young golfer, Betty Dodd, whose for-the-record discussion of their remarkable love is included in Babe. Stricken with cancer in her prime, Babe went on to courageously and publicly fight the disease. Babe is a comprehensive, in-depth biography of a woman who was a great athlete at a time when it was extremely difficult for a woman to be her own person. Through interviews with members of Babe's family, her golf peers, and medical personnel, Cayleff caringly reveals the life and probes the legend of this unusual American hero. She unflinchingly examines the athletic community, the media, and the society that both loved and judged Babe, whose story embodies the struggle of all women who dare to transcend stereotypes and claim their own definitions and unique identities. Babe allows her to be all the hero--and all the human being--she was meant to be.

She spends a lot of time going to a cabin in the Ozarks with her father. While there, she meets a lot of interesting friends, who teach her some very valuable lessons along the way. Reggie learns how to live beyond her imagination, which eventually dubs her the title the tenacious tomboy. You may think some of her stories are just a bunch of tall tales, but I am telling you theyare not! The Tall Tales of the Tenacious Tomboy is a compilation of eleven short stories that I wrote for my two daughters. I wanted to give them a glimpse of my childhood and teach them to cherish theirs. My daughters enjoyed my stories, and they gained knowledge of how to use your imagination, to bring enjoyment out of simple things.

Book excerpt: Experience the extraordinary story of a nearly forgotten American superstar athlete. Texas girl Babe Didrikson never tried a sport too tough and never met a hurdle too high. Despite attempts to keep women from competing, Babe achieved All-American status in basketball and won gold medals in track and field at the 1932 Olympics. Then Babe attempted to conquer golf. One of the founders of the LPGA, Babe won more consecutive tournaments than any golfer in history. At the height of her fame, she was diagnosed with cancer. Babe would then take her most daring step of all: go public and try to win again with the hope of inspiring the world. A rollicking saga, stretching across the first half of the 20th century, Wonder Girl is as fresh, heartfelt, and graceful as Babe herself.

Download or read book A Locker Room of Her Own written by David C. Ogden and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2013-06-03 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Female athletes are too often perceived as interlopers in the historically male-dominated world of sports. Obstacles specific to women are of particular focus in A Locker Room of Her Own. Race, sexual orientation, and the similar qualities ancillary to gender bear special exploration in how they impact an athlete's story. Central to this volume is the contention that women in their role as inherent outsiders are placed in a unique position even more complicated than the usual experiences of inequality and discord associated with race and sports. The contributors explore and critique the notion that in order to be considered among the pantheon of athletic heroes one cannot deviate from the traditional demographic profile, that of the white male. These essays look specifically and critically at the nature of gender and sexuality within the contested nexus of race, reputation, and sport. The collection explores the reputations of iconic and pioneering sports figures and the cultural and social forces that helped to forge their unique and often problematic legacies. Women athletes discussed in this volume include Babe Didrikson Zaharias, the women of the AAGPBL, Billie Jean King, Venus and Serena Williams, Marion Jones, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, Sheryl Swoopes, Florence Griffith Joyner, Roberta Gibb and Kathrine Switzer, and Danica Patrick.
