Annette feels free : the true story of Annette Kellerman, world-class swimmer, fashion pioneer, and real-life mermaid / by Mazeika, Katie,author.(CARDINAL)816923;
Includes bibliographical references."All her life, Annette wanted one thing: to feel free. As a girl she found freedom in the water, where she could swim without the leg braces she needed on land. As she grew up, Annette swam in Australia and England and America and beyond, performing synchronized swimming--which she invented!--and competing in swim races and diving exhibitions. But always she was bogged down by her heavy swim clothes. Clothes that only women had to wear, not men. So Annette designed her own swim costume. And then, she fought for the right to wear it--and for the right for all women to feel free."--Grades 2-3Ages 0-8AD800LAccelerated Reader AR
