Women’s Running – Coming of Age in Canada

This 1980 pamphlet by Ellen Agger, founder of Toronto Women Running, analyzes the past and present barriers to women’s participation in running, how they are being overcome, and what direction Agger anticipates women’s long distance running to take over the next few years. Over 24 pages, the pamphlet addresses topics such as recreational and competitive running, evolving social attitudes, corporate commercialization, motivations for women runners, and gender-based discrimination and stereotypes.
