Prides Crossing: The Unbridled Life and Impatient Times of Eleonora Sears

By Peggy Miller Franck

Born to a leading Boston family in 1881, Eleonora Eleo Randolph Sears cut a swath through society in the first half of the twentieth century, as arguably the greatest and most versatile female athlete of her generation. She faced off against the world like a gladiator, wielding her competitive skill, her wealth, and the force of her will. Author Peggy Franck, the daughter of Sears's financial advisor paints a dramatic portrait of Boston Brahmin society and one woman who dared to be different.
