The misogyny was a constant drum beat throughout the first half of the book, which just makes you realise how much the past was a different plant.
Yet despite little outside assistance, Burton won the World Championships Road Race in 1960 and 1967, while on the track she won a huge haul including five gold, three silver and four bronze medals. However, everything comes to us at the right time — and Jeremy Wilson’s biography on British cycling legend Beryl did just that.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Despite her obvious intellect, Burton preferred manual work and often spent time between races labouring on farms. As an example, at 15 pages Wilson devotes three times as much space to Burton's only 24-hour time trial as Fotheringham, who in turn wrote twice as much about it as Burton did in her autobiography, Personal Best. Long ignored by sporting history, Burton's life story - recently told by Maxine Peake in a stage and radio play - is finally getting the recognition she deserves.
An important contribution to both disability studies and history, Galer painstakingly crafts a book that is both scholarly and personal. Our need for ritual is primordial, and embracing its logic can help us connect, find meaning and discover who we are.
His sports writing was again highly commended in 2021 at both the British Press Awards and the British Journalism Awards. A stalwart of the club scene who encouraged a generation of female cyclists, when eventually deposed by her daughter, the older Burton refused to embrace her and sunk into a depression over the loss of her previous identity. Publication dates are subject to change (although this is an extremely uncommon occurrence overall).
There are lessons here for us all, from school kids to politicians, about what it means to be truly complete, and what it will take to make inclusion a reality.An incredible story about one of the nation's greatest-ever athletes that you probably haven't heard of - until now.
Nathalie Issa * The Daily Telegraph * Beryl was a woman ahead of her time, she was an incredible athlete with an inspirational mindset, and we are only left to imagine what she would have achieved given the same opportunities as the women's peloton now has. There are few athletes, male or female, that had the success and longevity of Beryl Burton - but for too long her name and achievements have remained in the shadows. However, with women at that time excluded from Olympic cycling, the possibility of even greater celebrity was denied to her – while performances on the world stage brought her more attention abroad than they did at home.His book pays homage to the remarkable life of champion cyclist Beryl Burton, capturing her life through family, friends and fellow competitors to reveal an incredible story about one of the greatest cyclists of all time.
