Synopsis
No chasing! No stretching or straining! And never, ever sweat. These were the rules girls were forced to play by until Title IX passed in 1972. And it was a game-changer.
A celebration of the strength, endurance, and athleticism of women and girls throughout the ages, Girls With Guts! keeps score with examples of women athletes from the late 1800s up through the 1970s, sharing how women refused to take no for an answer, and how finally, they pushed for a law to protect their right to play, compete, and be athletes.
"I find that this book tells the story of courageous and remarkable women that has brought the opportunities for today’s girls in a positive and fun way even though the fight has not always been easy. But this book captures history in way where the first thought is strength and will of these remarkable ladies.
It is also a good book to remind that it is not that long ago that we were in a very different situation still. A good reminder that even though there are still things and attitudes to change, women’s sport has come a long way to the point we had in Buenos Aires Youth Olympic Games for the first time ever, 50/50 female and male athletes competing!"
—Emma Terho, a multiple-time Olympic and Women’s World Championship bronze medalist

Look at you ...springing, kicking, dribbling, and pitching it down the pike. Girl, you are amazing!
It’s hard to believe that there was a time when girls were not encouraged to play sports. It’s true. Athletic programs funded by the US government were once for boys only. That was the rule. Girls were told: No chasing! No stretching! No kicking! No pushing! No splashing! And never, ever sweat.
