What an extraordinary book! While it was initially marketed as an exploration of women in sports, it exceeded all my expectations. It served as a vivid reminder of the intricate connection between sports and our daily lives. I was pleasantly surprised by the profound impact women have had on the world of sports and their pivotal role in championing equality. Additionally, it deepened my appreciation for how sports shape our culture and society.

This book is unquestionably exceptional, leaving me in awe of the remarkable courage displayed by the women whose stories it highlights.

Despite considering myself well-versed in women's history and women's sports, this book took me on a captivating journey through the historical struggles women faced while fighting for the right to participate, vote, drive, work, and lead. Although the primary focus is on U.S. athletes, its empowering message resonates with women worldwide. It's an absolute must-read!
