Now in paperback! No chasing! No stretching or straining! And never, ever sweat. Girls can’t play sports. At least, that's what the men believed.

Sports was a boys only industry, or so they thought, 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.
