#GrtShr by author of our textbook Sharon Buchbinder about #KatherineSwitzer "the first woman to enter the #BostonMarathon , who was attacked by an official during the race because she was a woman! She finished the race and became an activist for women around the world successfully lobbying for the women's marathon to become an Olympic sport." #Leadership #ERA #HistoryMatters #AgeOnlyANumber #ProfTimRN #csibus605 (at College of Staten Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7EkCTB_nZe3FL7_t0Uuz-fO2vKptzaxru0FY0/?igshid=n2a3ioed73r3

Kathrine Virginia "Kathy" Switzer (born January 5th, 1947, in Amberg, Germany) is an American author, television commentator and marathon runner. In 1967, she became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon as a numbered entry. During her run, race official Jock Semple (pictured) attempted to stop Switzer and grab her official bib (the race was intended for men exclusively). However, he was shoved to the ground by Switzer's boyfriend, who was running with her, and she completed the race. It was not until 1972 that women were allowed to run the Boston Marathon officially. . #history #boston #bostonmarathon #viralnetics #katherineswitzer #BeBoldForChange #girlpower #sport http://fat.ly/48Fl4 [ Instagram ]
