Now in paperback! No chasing! No stretching or straining! And never, ever sweat. Girls can’t play sports. At least, that's what the men believed.


Sports was a boys only industry, or so they thought, until Title IX passed in 1972. And it was a game-changer.

Celebrate women athletes who played all kinds of sports before Title IX finally allowed them to compete in the Olympics, tournaments, and in leagues across America.

No chasing! No stretching or straining! And never, ever sweat. These were the rules girls were forced to play by until Title IX passed in 1972. From Melpomene in 1896 to Althea Gibson in 1956 and beyond, readers will meet the women athletes who refused to take no for an answer. Learn how they paved the way for the women who pushed for a law to protect their right to play, compete, and be athletes.
