Unbreakable : An Autobiography
My years of hard work, the refusal to give up, pushing every boundary there was. The thrill the joy of winning, the successes. The Olympic bronze, my most prized possession. And boxing, the sport I gave myself to. All of it is real. I was the David who took on the Goliaths in the boxing ring and I won, most of the time. Born to parents who were landless agricultural labourers in the state of Manipur in Northeast India, Marys story is one of relentless struggle and unflagging passion for boxing. A childhood of hard labour prepared her body for the sport as well as any fitness training might have. Her own will and aggression carried her through the minefield of politics that any sport in India is. Nimble of foot and pulling no punches, the boxing ring was her domain. M.C. Mary Kom is not yet ready to call it a day, but here she tells her story so far, no holds barred her tough childhood, her rebellions and how she held her own in the male world of boxing. Its all packed into this inspiring, exhilarating tale of a woman who faced impossible odds in a mans world and won.
