Shattering the Glass by Susan Shackelford
Looking at a century of struggle, liberation and gutsy play, this title chronicles women's basketball in the US. Offering portraits of heroes and contemporary stars, it provides a perspective on the history of the sport, exploring its relationship to concepts of womanhood, race, and sexuality, and to efforts to expand women's rights.
"Shattering the Glass is an indispensable resource for the sport played more than any other by women all over the world" - Bust "You needn't be a hoops junkie to enjoy this engaging chronicle; the story of women's basketball reflects that of all female athletic endeavors over the past 100-some years - full of physical joy, political struggle and ultimate glory." - Ms."
