Bookroo's summary
Agnes Morley, raised on a cattle ranch, is sent to Stanford to become a lady. Instead, she trades spurs for bloomers, leading her team in a groundbreaking 1896 basketball game against Berkeley. As she challenges societal norms, Agnes's victory brings national attention to women's sports. Will her triumph inspire change?
From the publisher
Raised on a cattle ranch, Agnes Morley was sent to Stanford University to learn to be a lady. Yet in no time she exchanged her breeches and spurs for bloomers and a basketball, and in April 1896 she made history. In a heart-pounding game against the University of California at Berkeley, Agnes led her team to victory in the first-ever intercollegiate women’s basketball game, bringing national attention to women’s basketball.
