Stella Walsh was a Polish-American Olympic track and field icon of the 1930s. When Walsh was murdered years after her track career had ended, the autopsy brought her sex--and her legacy--into question. This first biography of Walsh reveals in detail her personal struggles, athletic triumphs, and tragic death.
