On race day, however, she showed her lipstick and earrings proudly, taking her place at the starting line. Switzer was at mile two when race manager John Semple, angered by a woman entering the male­only marathon, ran up and tried to push her off the course, yelling，“Get out of my race！” But with Switzer’s boyfriend knocking Semple back, she made it in four hours and twenty minutes.

Switzer has 39 marathons under her belt, including coming in first in New York in 1974 and running in the Olympics in 1984.The last time she finished one in Boston was in 1976，four years after women officially entered it. Switzer’s movement goes beyond letting women enter that race.Founding a nonprofit(非盈利的) international women’s running club, Switzer chose the name “261 Fearless”. “My goal is to reach women in places right now where they’re not allowed to leave the house alone, drive a car or get an education，” Switzer said.“If running can give women a sense of strength, and make them no longer victims and weak, that’s what I hope it can do.” 1.
