Publisher's Synopsis
This Life I've Led is an autobiographical book written by Babe Didrikson Zaharias, one of the most iconic and accomplished female athletes of the 20th century.

It also explores her relationships with other sports legends, such as Bobby Jones and Joe Louis. Throughout the book, Zaharias' unyielding determination and fierce competitive spirit shine through, as she recounts the highs and lows of her remarkable life. This Life I've Led is not only a fascinating look at the life of one of the greatest athletes of all time, but also a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of following one's dreams.
