A Mighty Girl's 2023 Summer Reading List

Jenny Graham was an amateur cyclist when she set herself an ambitious — some would say foolhardy — goal: become the fastest woman to cycle around the world. She set off from Scotland in 2018; 124 days, 16 countries, and 18,000 miles later, she smashed the women's record by 3 weeks! In Coffee First, Then the World she tells her own story with wit, wisdom, and honestly. She shares the physical challenges, like bike repairs, riding through the night, and extreme weather, as well as the mental ones, including the desire to give up and head home. And she celebrates the moments when she realized that following her impulses — talking to people, embracing new cultures, and accepting the joy of her adventure — were what would power her to success.
