Finding a Way to Play: The Pioneering Spirit of Women in Basketball

In Finding a Way to Play, you will read about the strong, independent women who have gone to great lengths to play the game of basketball:

* The earliest pioneers who played despite concerns about risks to their health and femininity

* Black and Native American women who endured racial discrimination as they searched for opportunities to play

* Lesbians who hid their identities for fear of being denied the chance to play

* Women over 50 who ignored aches and pains to rediscover the joys of a childhood passion.

Young adults who read this book will come away with an understanding of the roads their great-grandmothers, grandmothers, and their own mothers traveled to bring the game into the future.
