The following excerpts are from Women in Racing: In Their Own Words, published in September 2001 by Eclipse Press. By the father-daughter team of John and Julia McEvoy, Women in Racing is a collection of candid interviews with 18 women who broke into the once predominately male bastion of horse racing. Their honest and moving stories recount the everday challenges they overcame to pursue their dreams. The paths these women took weren't always smooth, but through talent, determination, and hard work, they succeeded. Their stories combine to form a compelling picture of racing behind the scenes and give wonderful insight into the challenges and strides made by women in racing.We'll be adding new excerpts each week:Excerpts:Week of August 25: Linda Rice--Not Afraid of Hard WorkWeek of September 1: The Bartons--Pioneering SpiritsWeek of September 8: Charlsie Cantey--Network NaturalWeek of September 15: Jenine Sahadi--Against the OddsWeek of September 22: Alice Chandler--In Her Father's ImageWeek of September 29: Francesca Rabadan--Spit and PolishWeek of October 6: Barbara Livingston--Passionate VisionWeek of October 13: Mary Scollay--Speaking Their LanguageWeek of October 20: Christine Janks--The NonconformistWeek of October 27: Jane Goldstein--Premier PublicistWeek of November 3: Christine Salvino--The Soprano in the PaddockWeek of November 10: Donna Porter--Traveling TeamWeek of November 17: Sheryl Stefanowicz--Nine Stories a DayWeek of November 24: Zoe Cadman--Bold and DeterminedWeek of December 1: Maryjean Wall--The Write StuffWeek of December 8: Dot Sibille--The RelationshipWeek of December 15: Charlene Burkhardt--Tattoo Artist --Final ExcerptBuy the book
