"This colorful collection of short biographies offers a wide range of women currently involved in professional sports... I’m a huge admirer of King’s, and the amount of good she has done for women’s sports is beyond incredible. It’s particularly noteworthy that she stops to focus on the struggles and accomplishments of other women in sports. Robbins writes engaginly about the different women, there are lots of photos, and the source notes at the back of the book are very complete. This would make a great gift for a young athlete."— Ms. Yingling Reads (Edelweiss review)
