Legends of Women's Basketball

The game has always been theirs. The world just took a while to watch.

From the first peach baskets to packed-out arenas, women have been playing basketball since the very beginning—and fighting to be seen every step of the way. Legends of Women's Basketball traces the full history of the game: the institutions that tried to contain it, the players who refused to be contained, and the trailblazers who transformed women's basketball into one of the most electrifying sports in the world. Pat Summitt, who made winning look inevitable. Nancy Lieberman, who played wherever she had to. Brittney Griner, Maya Moore, Diana Taurasi, Caitlin Clark—and so many more women who didn't just play the game at the highest level. They made sure there would always be a next one.

This is their history. And it's just getting started.
