Janet Guthrie: Indy Car Racing Pioneer

48 pp. | KidHaven | September, 2010 | Library ISBN 978-0-7377-5050-8 $28.25
(4) 4-6 Innovators series. A risk-taker from childhood, Guthrie broke into the all-male world of auto racing. In 1977 she was the first woman to compete in the Indy 500 and for twenty-seven years she held the record for best finish by a woman. Sports fans and feminists will appreciate her story, told in somewhat bland but accessible text. Photos of Guthrie in action are inspiring. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
