In April, 2008, MARATHON WOMAN won the Billie Award for journalism for its inspiring portrayal of women in sports. Switzer first changed history in 1967 when she joined the then all-male Boston Marathon and finished, after being attacked by the race director and nearly thrown out. She went on to run 35 marathons, won the New York City Marathon and led the drive to get the women's marathon into the Olympic Games. As a leader, athlete and woman, Switzer continues to inspire people everywhere. She tells her story in MARATHON WOMAN.
