how four generations of women paved the way for the WNBA
2024
"This is the story of the pioneers who shaped so much of the modern infrastructure for women's basketball, whose histories intersect and wind their way through the state of Minnesota.

To end the double-standard that treats every undeniable success by women as a one-off, but every setback as a referendum"--Provided by publisher.
