Reaching back over a century of struggle; liberation; and gutsy play; Shattering the Glass is a sweeping chronicle of women's basketball in the United States. Offering vivid portraits of forgotten heroes and contemporary stars; Pamela Grundy and Susan Shackelford provide a broad perspective on the history of the sport; exploring its close relationship to concepts of womanhood; race; and sexuality; and to efforts to expand women's rights.Extensively illustrated and drawing on original interviews with players; coaches; administrators; and broadcasters; Shattering the Glass presents a moving; gritty view of the game on and off the court. It is both an insightful history and an empowering story of the generations of women who have shaped women's basketball.
