A proposito di questo titolo
Join us on the pod today as we tell you about the stories of two amazing women in American history.
You'll learn about the second Paul Revere who rode her horse all through the night for over 40 miles which is more than three times further than Revere rode that one night in history. Her name was Syil Ludington and she was just 17 years old.
Our next story is all about a girl who ran to catch a train and caught the eye of her school's track coach. The only problem? It was 1926 and girls didn't run track. Elizabeth "Betty" Robinson was too fast to ignore and quickly became the fastest woman in the world at the 1928 Olympic Games. Her story doesn't end there though, because she had another Olympic run in her future but not before battling incredible odds to get there.
