Description
Gr 4 Up—Utterly browsable and completely engaging, this collection of 50 female athletes offers
up brief glimpses into the lives and careers of a relatively diverse group of women. Wandering far
off the well-beaten path of familiar names (Billie Jean King, Wilma Rudolph, Mia Hamm), the book
also highlights women who excelled (or currently excel) at less traditional activities, such as roller
derby (Ann Calvello), archery (Kim Soo-Nyung), bodybuilding (Bev Francis), and refereeing (Violet
Palmer). Ignotofsky clearly made every effort to scour the globe and include athletes from many
different countries. Each spread profiles an individual and features a page-length description of
background and career high points, a quote from the athlete, and a cheerful illustration captioned
with additional facts. Organized chronologically by the athletes' birth year, this compendium, taken
as a whole, is a captivating look at the history of women in sports, emphasizing that no individual
athlete is more or less important than the next. Information about anatomy, pay inequalities
between men and women, and other related topics can be found throughout. The writing is
accessible to a wide range of readers, and the material is concise and orderly, often leaving
readers wanting more. Fortunately, a thorough bibliography is appended, making it easy to dive
deeper into the lives of some of these fascinating trailblazers. VERDICT This title is as edifying as
it is entertaining; a timely addition to nonfiction collections.—Jody Kopple, Shady Hill School,
Cambridge, MA 2018 Amelia Bloomer List selection, American Library Association
'Exhaustive and enlightening—don't miss it.'– Kirkus Reviews'This is one of the books we've
been waiting for—a compendium of great women athletes and the struggles they faced. As Billie
Jean King taught us, ‘Pressure is a privilege.â€'– Lesley Visser, Hall of Fame
sportscaster'This luminescent book tells the stories of women and girls who have not only
excelled in athletics, but also often changed the world by doing so. I was agog at these lively
biographies, and dazzled by the accompanying illustrations that seem to cartwheel, swim, pole
vault, and double flip off the page. This is a book for girls who want inspiration on the field, in the
pool, or down the track. Itâ€s also for girls who arenâ€t sporty at all, but love stories of
courage, perseverance, sass, doggedness, and fun. And donâ€t forget the boys, who will be
riveted by these rollicking tales and who need to see that girl power has been alive and well for
many years, and is alive and well today.'– Caroline Paul, author of The Gutsy Girl
'Rachel Ignotofsky's delightful book renders the healthy pleasure of sports for girls and women in
buoyant color and form—from Bloomer Girls to Skate Bettys, in calf length skirts or disguised as
men—reminding us that no matter if you are nine or ninety-eight, the question to ask is, ‘What
is my next victor
