The game has always been theirs. The world just took a while to watch.

Before Caitlin Clark filled arenas, before the WNBA, before Title IX, girls were already picking up basketballs and demanding their chance to play.

Legends of Women's Basketball takes readers on a fast-paced, fully illustrated journey through more than a century of American women's basketball, from Senda Berenson introducing the new game at Smith College in 1892 to the sold-out arenas of today. It's a history of breakthroughs and setbacks alike: the Fort Shaw Girls, a Native American team that made history at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair; the way Title IX transformed opportunities for girls in sports; the legendary 1996 Olympic team; the launch of the WNBA; and the ongoing fight for visibility, pay, and respect.
