Irish sportswomen continue to make headlines! Whether it is Katie
Taylor's continued dominance in the boxing ring, or Rachel Blackmore's
phenomenal success in 2021--as the leading jockey at Cheltenham and the
first ever Grand National winner--Irish women are leading the way
through their sporting achievements.
Based on interviews with the featured athletes and fully illustrated in
colour, the second volume of Girls Play Too continues from where the
first book left off. Spoilt for choice, Jacqui's selection includes some
of the most successful athletes to ever grace a GAA pitch, pioneering
horse-racing jockeys, elite figures from the athletics circuit,
stalwarts of the Irish football team, members of the hugely successful
hockey team, and a host of figures who are excelling in their chosen
codes.
With her popular fairy-tale touch, RTÉ's Jacqui Hurley tells the
real-life stories of women who have proved that gender is not a barrier
to success. Each new story in Girls Play Too: Book 2 is one of
empowerment and overcoming adversity, and the role models celebrated
here are sure to inspire the next generation of Irish sportswomen.
