In the late 1980s, amateur British sailor Tracy Edwards decided she’d had enough of being discriminated in sailing for being a woman. She assembled the world’s first international all-female sailing crew and took part in the Whitbread Round the World Race—a staggering 40,000-nautical-mile circumnavigation of the earth that few boats dared tackle. As the team weathered not only life-threatening high seas but also a storm of sexism in the media, their expedition came to signify so much more than just a race to the finish line.
