“A thoughtful; exhaustively researched; and long-overdue tribute to the women who have paved the way for the likes of Serena Williams; Abby Wambach; Simone Biles; and more.†—espnW “A stirring tribute to the record setters; barrier breakers; and milestone makers who opened the way for the women competitors of today….Packed with classic photographs; Schiot’s book is a gold-medal gift idea for the sports fan.†—BookPage Based on the Instagram account @TheUnsungHeroines; a celebration of the pioneering; forgotten female athletes of the twentieth century that features rarely seen photos and new interviews with past and present game changers including Abby Wambach and Cari Champion.Two years ago; filmmaker Molly Schiot began the Instagram account @TheUnsungHeroines; posting a photo each day of a female athlete who had changed the face of sports around the globe in the pre-Title IX age. These women paved the way for Serena Williams; Carli Lloyd; and Lindsey Vonn; yet few today know who they are. Slowly but surely; the account gained a following; and the result is Game Changers; a beautifully illustrated collection of these trailblazers’ rarely-before-seen photos and stories. Featuring icons Althea Gibson and Wyomia Tyus; complete unknowns Trudy Beck and Conchita Cintron; policymaker Margaret Dunkle; sportswriter Lisa Olson; and many more; Game Changers gives these “founding mothers†the attention and recognition they deserve; and features critical conversations between past and present gamechangers—including former US Women’s National Soccer Team captain Abby Wambach and SportsCenter anchor Cari Champion—about what it means to be a woman on and off the field. Inspiring; empowering; and unforgettable; Game Changers is the perfect gift for anyone who has a love of the game.

I barely remember him in Easy Rider; howeverBy DutchFirst off I must admit I am not a big Nicholson fan; I barely remember him in Easy Rider; however; it isusually interesting to learn about someone that is not high on your list; you just might be missing something.In this case I don't know; because IF; you are interested in Jack's sex life this is the book for you.Hollywood must be just one large bucket of sexual acrobatics; as the sailors say; "Any Port in a Storm"The writing just goes on and on about generally nothing of great interest...I suppose if you are a big Nicholson fan or his intimate life style this would work for you;but just for a goodbio; this does not get it...Dutch....0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
