The Kitchen Front
Book by Jennifer Ryan.
This was a charming read! Even though they were initially pitted against each other as competitors, I loved how the women came together in the end to support each other.
Young Woman and the Sea
This movie depicts the true story of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel and beat the men’s record in the process. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and marvelled at Trudy’s dedication despite those men who were determined to stop her. The movie is funny and heartwarming, but also eye-opening in terms of the way women and sports were viewed in the early 1900’s. Note: it briefly shows the bare buttocks of a man who swims nude or in a thong.
