This powerful and inspiring collection features 21 female trailblazers
in their sport, perfect for fans of Women in Sports and Good Night
Stories for Rebel Girls!
Before girls wore pants or women were permitted to swim in bathing
suits at public beaches, who paved the way for women in sports? And
who's breaking new ground today?
This anthology introduces 21 trailblazing women who have broken through
the boundaries set for female athletes. From basketball slam-dunker
Lisa Leslie to tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams, whose
father had onlookers jeer at and taunt the girls as they practiced, to
Paralympian Tatyana McFadden, who was a speed demon even at her Russian
orphanage before she was adopted, to Olympic gold medalist Ethelda
Bleibtrey, who was led off to jail when she shed her shoes and
stockings to swim in public, Not Playing by the Rules inspires,
informs, and illustrates the strength, determination, and
accomplishments of women athletes both yesterday and today.
With powerful photographs and hand-lettered, inspirational quotes from
the athletes themselves, this is a collection every young girl should
own.
The featured athletes include Ethelda Bleibtrey, Bobbi Gibb, Althea
Gibson, Gabby Douglas, Flo Hyman, Lisa Leslie, Mia Hamm, Tatyana
McFadden, Mo'ne Davis, Ibtihaj Muhammad, Diana Golden, Constance
Applebee, Lizzie Arlington, Babe Didrikson, Alice Coachman, Joy
Johnson, Nancy Lieberman, Nadia Com neci, Venus and Serena Williams,
and Yusra Mardini.
