Winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award 2023!
A New York Times Bestseller, A Financial Times Best Book of the Year 2023, and a joyous love letter to the running life, Good for a Girl is a raw personal narrative of growth and change that gives voice to the often-silent experience of the female athlete.
Lauren Fleshman, one of the most decorated collegiate athletes of all time and a national champion as a pro, before becoming a coach for elite young female runners, has seen firsthand how our sports systems fail young women and girls as much as empower them.
Part memoir, part manifesto, Good for a Girl is Fleshman's story of falling in love with running as a girl, battling devastating injuries and self-doubt, and daring to fight for a better way for female athletes.
Women's sports have needed a manifesto for a long time, and with Good for a Girl, we finally have one. Malcolm Gladwell praises Fleshman for delivering a sporting manifesto while also being a fine and engaging writer. The Times states that Good for a Girl needs to be read by anyone involved in women's sport. Adharanand Finn, author of The Rise of the Ultra Runners, calls it the book we've been waiting for. Kate Fagan, author of What Made Maddy Run, describes it as a call to action in how we think about girls and women in elite sports. Emily Oster, bestselling author of Crib Sheet, says it's an invitation to have a long overdue conversation for a long overdue cultural shift. Alysia Montaño, an Olympian, co-founder of &Mother, and author of Feel-Good Fitness, hails it as a game-changer.
Good for a Girl was announced as the winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year on 30.11.2023. It also reached no. 13 on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list on 29.01.2023.
