Review:
"Minnesota Women in Sports offers us a glimpse of the stories behind the revolution in women's sports that marked the last half of the twentieth century. These Minnesota women tell us what it was like to follow their passions, to crash through barriers, and to achieve excellence against the odds. They also describe the struggles and the thrill of creating opportunities for women and girls as coaches, administrators, and researchers. We are fortunate to have their voices as a legacy for future generations who will continue to expand the boundaries of what is possible."
