Their Day in the Sun: Women of the 1932 Olympics by Doris H. Pieroth,

The 1932 Olympic games took place in Los Angeles in the depths of the Great Depression; that they were held at all falls barely short of miraculous. The United States sent thirty-seven women to compete - seventeen swimmers, seventeen track sports bar seattle and field athletes, sports bar seattle and three fencers. It was not easy, sports bar seattle and far from acceptable, for a woman to be an athlete in 1932. As late as April 1931 the International Olympic Committee seriously considered eliminating women's events. The young Americans did their part to capture the imagination of spectators sports bar seattle and reporters. Through the sports press they catapulted the Olympic Games sports bar seattle and women's athletics into the nation's consciousness as never before. Doris Pieroth creates vivid portraits of the women, including the great Babe Didrikson the confident sports bar seattle and outspoken track sports bar seattle and field star, Tidye Pickett, one of only two African American women who represented the United States despite encountering racial discrimination; sports bar seattle and Helene Madison, winner of three gold medals in swimming, who returned triumphantly to Seattle's West Green Lake Beach - as a hotdog vendor (park department rules barred women from teaching swimming). Pieroth's account is drawn from interviews with eleven of the women athletes, family members, other Olympians of the era, sports bar seattle and witnesses of the 1932 games. She also quotes extensively from contemporary journalists such as Paul Gallico, Westbrook Pegler, sports bar seattle and Damon Runyon, whose mixture of condescension, fulsome admiration for the "glamour girl" swimmers, sports bar seattle and genuine, if sometimes grudging, admiration for the accomplishments of the athletes provides an intriguing view of the stereotypes these Olympic contestants were challenging.
