Famous Female Italian-Americans in Sports: Books
Circulating Books
The Quiet Storm
The growth in popularity of women's sports has been a long time coming. Many, many women have worked very hard behind the scenes to make today's women's professional and gold-medal winning Olympic teams a reality. But this book is about more than just the female athletes, it is about their relationships with each other, their families, their children. It is about the frustration of insisting on equality, but still having to get their laundry done. It is also about getting into the boys' club without wanting to be one of the boys. It celebrates women's strength, humor and honor and the way sports can positively influence young girls (and boys). Almost 100 women athletes representing dozens of different sports and related careers contributed their thoughts, voices and experiences to this project, including Mary Lou Retton, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and The Fabulous Sports Babe. All share their dreams of competitions, their failures and triumphs in and away from the arena, and their visions of thefuture of American sport.
