Through the stories of six athletes, including Althea Gibson, Wilma Rudloph and Jackie Joyner-Kersee - Jennifer Lansbury deftly follows the emergence of black women athletes from the African American community; their confrontations with contemporary attitudes of race, class, and gender; and their encounters with the civil rights movement.
