Includes information on Title IX.
"A work of fiction inspired by a true story, Matt Tavares's debut graphic novel dramatizes the historic struggle for gender equality in high school sports. It is 1975 in Indiana, and the Wilkins Regional High School girls' basketball team is in their rookie season. Despite being undefeated, they practice at night in the elementary school and play to empty bleachers. Unlike the boys' team, the Lady Bears have no buses to deliver them to away games and no uniforms, much less a laundry service. They make their own uniforms out of T-shirts and electrical tape. And with help from a committed female coach, they push through to improbable victory after improbable victory. Illustrated in full color, this story about the ongoing battle of women striving for equality in sports rings with honesty, bravery, and heart." -- Publisher marketing.

great submitted by manz on August 9, 2023, 1:26pm A lovely treat of a graphic novel! Based on a true story, this fictional graphic novel is a wonderful example of how kids from anywhere can take actions to make changes. Like a girls' basketball team, uniforms, and a gym to play in -- Just like the boys team! Great illustrations and story.
