I have had this book in my want to read list for a while, and I have tried a few times to get into it, and stopped. It’s something that intrigued me, but again, I just couldn’t get into it.
Well, a few days ago, I tried again, and this time, I trudged slowly through it and made my way past it and finished it – without stopping the book for something else.
It was a very accurate history of women’s basketball, with a lot of key teams, players, and coaches mentioned who helped make it what it is today. They had a lot of ups and downs. One of the key factors was Title IX and that really helped put women’s basketball on the radar. Race and sexuality were also discussed quite a bit.
It was interesting to read that as far back as 1892, there were women promoting and playing basketball, and when it started, the rules were very different.
I enjoyed this book, although, it was not the easiest read for me.
