Miss Mary Reporting by Sue Macy
"A heartfelt, informative, and thoroughly engaging picture book biography." --School Library Journal (starred review)From beloved author Sue Macy comes an illustrated biography of Mary Garber, one of the first female sports journalists in American history!
Mary Garber was a pioneering sports journalist in a time where women were rarely a part of the newspaper business. Women weren't even allowed to sit in the press boxes at sporting events, so Mary was forced to sit with the coaches' wives. But that didn't stop her.
In a time when African American sports were not routinely covered, Mary went to the games and wrote about them. Garber was a sportswriter for fifty-six years and was the first woman to receive the Associated Press Sports Editors' Red Smith Award, presented for major contributions in sports journalism. And now, every year the Association of Women in Sports Media presents the Mary Garber Pioneer Award in her honor to a role model for women in sports media.
Sue Macy enjoys writing about sports and strong women. ALA Notable Books, Best Books for Young Adults, and Booklist Editors' Picks have all been given to her works. She is a resident of Englewood, New Jersey.
