This is the extraordinary story of a nearly forgotten
American superstar athlete. Texas girl Babe Didrikson never tried a sport too tough and
never met a hurdle too high. Despite attempts to keep women
from competing, Babe achieved All-American status in
basketball and won gold medals in track and field at the
1932 Olympics. Then Babe attempted to conquer golf. One of the founders of the LPGA, Babe won more consecutive
tournaments than any golfer in history. At the height of her
fame, she was diagnosed with cancer. Babe would then take
her most daring step of all: go public and try to win again
with the hope of inspiring the world. A rollicking saga, stretching across the first half of the
20th century, WONDER GIRL is as fresh, heartfelt, and
graceful as Babe herself.
