Description
A graphic novel about the historic struggle for gender equality in high school sports. In 1975 Indiana, the Wilkins Regional High School girls' basketball team faces significant challenges as they pursue their dreams of victory. Despite being undefeated, the Lady Bears have limited resources and no support from the school or authorities. They practice at night in an elementary school and play to empty bleachers, with no uniforms or laundry service to speak of. With the help of a committed female coach, the team perseveres through improbable victories. Illustrated in full color, this story about women striving for equality in sports is told with honesty, bravery, and heart.
