Marvelous Women's Book!

Making Her Mark is well thought-out and thoroughly researched. As a life long sports fan and athlete, I was inspired by the entries and enoromous amount of information about women's sports. This is a great book for young girls and women of all ages. It was amazing to read about so many unsung women heroes.

A must have!!!

This book is a must have book for every sports lover. It is an inspirational and educational work that is in a class of its own. As a young athlete understanding the struggles of the women in the early years of sports was an amzing experince that should be shared by all.

Women In Sports

The Los Angeles Times recently ran an Op Ed piece on the negative legacy of Title Nine. Enestine Miller 's book should be in every school , college and university in America. Title Nine, and the benefits of sports for girls and women, need to be acknowledged and lauded in the print media. More attention, to how far women's sports have come is necessary in order to encourage more participation in them. Girl's that learn the joy of competition and working as part of a team become capable of using those skills in all other aspects of their lives. I am giving this book to my daughter and each of her friends as graduation presents this year, so they can see that they are part of a great institution. How else can we expect Title Nine stay strong, unless the girls that have already befitted from it see their own place in the history of sports. This book does that. I hope Ms. Miller will continue writing with the histories of these sports individually.
