Running and jumping competitively for three decades, she also won more than 40 U.S. national championships and set dozens of world records. In 1975, she was inducted into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame, yet her impressive accomplishments have been almost entirely ignored. A pioneer in women's sports, Walsh was one of the first globetrotting athletes, running in meets all over North America, Europe, and Asia. While her accomplishments are undeniable, Walsh's legacy was called into question after her murder in 1980 and her autopsy revealed she had ambiguous genitalia. In addition to telling her fascinating story, the author provides a close look at the early days of women's track and field and examines the complicated and controversial question of sex and gender identity in athletics--an issue very much in the news today. 600 10 $a Walsh, Stella, $d 1911-1980. 600 17 $a Walsh, Stella, $d 1911-1980. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01987322 650 0 $a Women track and field athletes $z Poland $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women track and field athletes $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Olympic athletes $z Poland $v Biography. 650 0 $a Polish American athletes $v Biography. 650 0 $a Intersex athletes $z Poland $v Biography. 650 0 $a Intersex athletes $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Sports. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SPORTS & RECREATION $x Track & Field. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Intersex athletes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01749795 650 7 $a Olympic athletes $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01764756 650 7 $a Polish American athletes $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068860 650 7 $a Women track and field athletes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178635 651 7 $a Poland $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206891 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biography $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Biographies $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Anderson, Sheldon R., 1951- $t Forgotten legacy of Stella Walsh. $d Lanham, Maryland : Rowman & Littlefield, 2017 $z 9781442277564 $w (DLC) 2017002523 941 $a 2 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829014623.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20191018011115.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3A3985827DE911E984ED0E2C97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
