STAND
A memoir on activism. A manual for progress. What really happens when we stand on the front lines of change. (Bertine Series (New Shelf Press) Book 3)
Kathryn Bertine
Discover an empowering memoir-turned-manual that takes you behind the scenes of one woman's journey to fight for equal opportunity. Former ESPN columnist and professional cyclist Kathryn Bertine started small, wondering why women aren't allowed at the Tour de France, but her advocacy sparked a decade-long battle for change. In STAND, Bertine shares her story with honesty, humour, and authenticity, covering personal demons, brain injuries, devastating depression, and benched careers to create a poignant message for everyone: we all have the power to create change.

Fun thing I learned in @KathrynBertine’s great book, “Stand”: There’s a van - The “Broomwagon” - in pro cycling that “sweeps” away riders who won’t finish the race in allowed time.
The racing equivalent of The Sandman/Executioner of Apollo Amateur Night fame! (Deep cut, kids) – source
