Multi-awarded illustrator Joan Negrescolor dedicates this book to the women who never give up the fight. This concise and to the point text recounts the childhood of Alfonsina Strada, the first woman to participate in bicycle races, and finally managing to compete in the 1924 Giro d’Itàlia. This is a picture book with impressive fold-out pages in an unmistakable style, featuring characters of exceptional strength and personality, all beautifully rendered, to tell the story of a girl who had to confront a world rife with sexism (to the extent of disguising herself as a man) to achieve her dream.
