notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: "It's Not About Pretty - A Book About Radical Skater Girls" written by Cindy Whitehead and Ian Logan. This is a 138 page photographic essay on skater girls. Whitehead began skateboarding at age 15 and had turned pro by the time she was 17, something girls were not doing in the mid-1970s. She became one of the only girls skating both pool and half pipe and is the only girl ever to be featured in a two page article with a photo spread in the center of a skateboarding magazine. Whitehead retired from skateboarding at 22 but still skates and has remained in the sports arena as a sport stylist, an occupation she created.
