This engaging history of women's basketball discusses the sport's evolution from the first rather stationary games at Smith College in the 1890s to today's supercharged international professional leagues. Featured are such trailblazers as Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Hazel Walker, Nancy Lieberman, and several of the first WNBA stars. Color and archival photos accompany the lively, well-researched text. Bib., ind.
