Jenny Kammergaard, Ragnhild Hveger and Inge Sørensen are the names of three female swimmers who in the 1930s changed the sport of swimming forever. For example, Jenny set the Danish length record, while Ragnhild broke countless records and Inge became one of the youngest Olympic medal winners ever. With their speed and swimming technique, they opened the eyes of the Danes to female athletes.
"The swimming girls who seduced Denmark" is thus a historical biography of the three women. In the book, we are invited into a world of culture and politics. It was not easy to pave the way for the generation of female athletes, but the "Swimming girls who seduced Denmark" did it without a doubt.
