Against the backdrop of the call to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, the National Women’s Football League was founded as something of a gimmick. However, their star team, the Toledo Troopers, emerged to challenge traditional gender roles and amass a win-loss record never before or since achieved in American football. The players were housewives, factory workers, hairdressers, former nuns, high school teachers, bartenders, mail carriers, pilots, and would-be drill sergeants. Most of all, they were athletes who had been denied the opportunity to play a game they were born to play.

Revisado: 11-25-22
Guinan takes a story that half of us don’t know and the other half continues to overlook, and he gives us a personal, empathetic, and amazingly beautiful tale—a memorable telling of a lost piece of sports history that every fan should know. This story and these athletes deserved for this memory to be preserved and Guinan not only does that, but he depicts these ignored athletes as icons. Bravo!
