Why read it?
1 author picked We Were the All-American Girls as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As I researched the AAGPBL for my novel, I wanted to learn what it was like to play women’s baseball from the mouths of those who lived it.
This book was instrumental in helping me piece together, not just the stories of what happened, but the personalities of those in the league. Each interview told the story of a woman who overcame, achieved, dreamed big, and had a lot of fun doing it.
Entertaining and touching, these stories of women playing ball in a male-dominated sport will inspire just about anyone.
From Susie's list on making you fall in love with baseball.
