"Aime Card's new book about The Tigerbelles is outstanding. Ms. Card's account of such Tigerbelles as Wilma Rudolph and the Tigerbelles head coach, Ed Temple, reminds of how the late Tennessee State University president Walter S. Davis wanted things, A-plus, Deluxe Fashion."--Dwight Lewis, author of Mr. Temple's Tigerbelles, The Tennessean sportswriter, historian, and Tennessee State University alumni, "The Tigerbelles is not only for sports lovers, but for anyone who values triumph over adversity, untold historical stories, women supporting women, and the collective power of a team breaking the mold. Their story is heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measure."--Laura Munson, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, and founder of the acclaimed Haven Writing Retreats, "There are so many reasons to love The Tigerbelles! This is a book for everyone--whether you love sports stories, feminist stories, racial justice stories, adventure stories, stories about overcoming adversity, or stories about friendship and family. The Tigerbelles are truly an inspiration for all, and Aime Alley Card has written a gripping and engaging work of narrative nonfiction that allows the great women of the Tigerbelles team to speak for themselves. Full of quotes from the incredible women athletes and drawing on a plethora of original source material, Card shares the legendary track team's story in a heartwarming and powerful book that will inspire everyone who reads it. The Tigerbelles were a triumph, and this wonderful book is, too."--E.B. Bartels, author of Good Grief: On Loving Pets, Here and Hereafter, "This inspiring book chronicles the compelling journey of an underdog track team from Nashville, TN, as they raced over potholes on dusty dirt roads toward an eventual Olympic Gold victory. Aime Card shines a bright light on these extraordinary women, and I'm excited this story is being told."--Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Actor and NYT Bestselling author of Where the Light Gets In, "Three cheers for the triumphant Tigerbelles--the fastest women in the world! Aime Card shines a light on the team's struggles against fierce racial- and gender-based discrimination. Tigerbelles is a must read about determined women who blazed a trail all the way to the Olympic podium."--Jean Duffy, Author of Soccer Grannies: The South African Women Who Inspire the World, "The story of the Tigerbelles is one of the most inspiring tales in the history of athletics. Coach Ed Temple and an incredibly talented group of Olympians overcame barriers of race, class, and gender to become the most dominant track program in the world. Drawing on deep research and more than sixty years of interviews, Aime Card deftly brings this compelling story to life in The Tigerbelles. This is American history that must not be forgotten. Thanks to this fascinating, timely, and highly readable book, the story of remarkable women succeeding against the tallest odds will be enjoyed for generations to come."--Andrew Maraniss, New York Times bestselling author of Inaugural Ballers: The True Story of the First U.S. Women's Olympic Basketball Team, "The Tigerbelles were historic trailblazers three times over-- breaking racial barriers, gender barriers, and setting records for their sport that still awe 50 years later. Aime Alley Card not only vividly captures this riveting and remarkable story itself, but also the sheer improbability of it all: gold medals over Jim Crow."--Ted Reinstein, author of Before Brooklyn: The Unsung Heroes Who Helped Break Baseball's Color Barrier, "Through vivid storytelling, Aime Alley Card underscores the dogged determination it took for young, black, women track and field athletes to train in the 1950s Jim Crow South and triumph in Olympic competitions. Led by the indomitable Wilma Rudolph, Tennessee State's Tigerbelles pushed past societal obstacles to inspire successive generations of girls and women to excel in sports, even as they also confront tough challenges."--Melissa Ludtke, former Sports Illustrated reporter who fought a court battle for equal rights, Ludtke v. Kuhn, in the 1970s

Synopsis
The Tigerbelles tells the epic story of the 1960 Tennessee State University all-Black women's track team, which found Olympic glory at the 1960 games in Rome. The author tells a story of desire, success and failure--of beating the odds--against the backdrop of a changing America, but tells it in an intimate way. Readers will come to know the individuals' unique struggles and triumphs, while also understanding how these dreams emerged and solidified just as the country was struggling to leave the Jim Crow era behind. Coach Edward Temple pushed each team member to the limit and saw the possibilities in them that they often did not see themselves. The elite group of talent included Wilma Rudolph, Barbara Jones, Lucinda Williams, Martha Hudson, Willye B. White and Shirley Crowder: women who once were and should still be known world-wide. Ultimately the team's drive was for more than medals: Coach Temple and the Tigerbelles wanted to change the world's perception of what a group of young Black women in the Jim Crow south were capable of. Tigerbelles is a multi-layered inspirational tale of triumph over adversity. Based on memoirs and interviews with surviving team members, including Coach Temple, this is the story of an impossible dream come true., The Tigerbelles tells the epic story of the 1960 Tennessee State University all-black women's track team, which found Olympic glory at the 1960 games in Rome.The author tells an epic story of desire, success and failure-of beating the odds-against the backdrop of a changing America, but tells it in an intimate way.

Tigerbelles is a multi-layered inspirational tale of triumph over adversity. Operating on a shoestring budget and pitted dirt track, they nevertheless shared a common goal: to represent the USA in Track and Field. The arc of their story starts in Tennessee in the summer of 1960, and continues through the national meets in Texas, training in Kansas, media events in New York City and finally the Olympics in Rome in the early fall. Based on memoirs and interviews with surviving team members, including Coach Temple, this is the story of an impossible dream come true.
