Lindsey A. Freeman is Associate Professor of Sociology at Simon Fraser University.
You can fill a small library with books on running, but you won't find many that touch on queerness and feminism in the sport. . . . [Freeman's] storytelling, along with her friend Hazel Meyer's illustrations, chronicles Freeman's lifelong relationship with running and illuminates the 'unexpected moments of connection and joy that we runners feel when we cover some distance together.' -- Becky Wade * Runners World * I found Lindsay A. Freedman's little queer book Running absolutely delightful and surprisingly validating, as I think many queer sportspersons will. In particular, Freedman talks about how running as a sport of individualism and triumph over one's own fears or limitations has both mirrored and supported her journey in coming out as queer in ways that made me go 'Oh yes, that.' -- S.
