Gertrude Ederle was an American competitive swimmer. In 1926, she became the first woman to swim across the English channel. You can find more information about here at Encyclopedia Britannica.
Do you have biographies of Gertrude Ederle in you library? I’d love to hear which ones.
Disclaimer – I have not read these books so I cannot speak to their appropriateness for a K-12 Christian School library. I encourage librarians to read the books before making a purchasing decision. If you read any of them, let me know what you think.
