"A timeless and triumphant story of courage in the face of
opposition." -Foreword Reviews (starred review) "20 Super Sports
Books for Kids of All Ages!" -We Are Teachers It's 1974. Title IX
has passed two years ago, but Louisa's high school still refuses to
fund an all girls' basketball team. After hearing Gloria Steinem
speak, Louisa learns an important lesson: "The truth will set you
free, but first it will piss you off." Now what can she do but
stand up and fight back? When Louisa asks her principal to start a
girls team, she's soon viciously targeted by male coaches at her
school, lied to by the school board, and dismissed as "out of line"
as she fights for a fair chance to be an athlete. No Stopping Us
Now is a story about finding one's own voice through the joys of
sports, love, and the power of sisterhood. Based on the author's
true story, it is a compelling examination of the courage it takes
to stand up for what's right. Young adult, LGBTQ historical fiction
perfect for the 50th anniversary of Title IX.
