Annette feels free : the true story of Annette Kellerman, world-class swimmer, fashion pioneer, and real-life mermaid / Katie Mazeika.

Mazeika, Katie, (author.).

Summary:

"Meet "The Original Mermaid," Annette Kellerman! 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 andEngland 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"-- Provided by publisher.
