Jessica Long Featured in ‘Strong Like Her: A Celebration of Rule Breakers, History Makers, and Unstoppable Athletes’<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Jessica Long<\/strong> has broken many barriers and become one of the most decorated Paralympians of all time.<\/p>\n

With 29 Paralympic medals, she is one of the faces of swimming – and strength.<\/p>\n

She and endurance\/ice swimmer Jaimie Monahan<\/strong> were recently featured in a new book “Strong Like Her: A Celebration of Rule Breakers, History Makers, and Unstoppable Athletes.”<\/p>\n

The book, by Haley Shapley<\/strong> discusses the history of women in sports and often breaking rules and barriers to participate.<\/p>\n

Accompanying this remarkable history are photographs of current barrier breakers showing their strength, like Jessica Long<\/a> and Monahan taken by photographer Sophy Holland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The book discusses historical figures such as Babe Didrikson<\/strong>, the connections between the Women’s Rights Movement and sports as well as a look at the modern female athlete, like Serena Williams.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The book is published by Gallery Books, a Simon & Schuster division, and is available at most places books are sold<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is a celebration of history, strength and the future of female athletes and worth a look just for the incredible photos, but worth it doubly for the incredible history it brings to mirror that strength.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
