A Bar of Their Own, the Minneapolis bar for women's sports fans (which I wrote about last year) has a women's sports book club -- and idea I like and am thinking maybe we need a Crossover Book Club. I'm serious. In any case, I contacted owner Jillian Hiscock and she happily provided me a list of the books they've read so far:
Coming Home - Britney Griner
Sidelined: Sports, Culture, and Being a Woman in America - Julie DiCaro
Fast Girls: A Novel of the 1936 Women’s Olympic Team - Elise Hooper
Rare Gems - Howard Megdal
All the Way: The Life of Baseball Trailblazer Maybelle Blair - Kat D. Williams
Love and Justice: A Story of Triumph on Two Different Courts - Maya Moore Irons
All In - Billie Jean King
Cleat Cute - Meryl Wilsner
Wild Girls: How the Outdoors Shaped the Women Who Challenged a Nation - Tiya Miles
Fair Play: How Sports Shape the Gender Debates - Katie Barnes
Good suggestions and a good column is always. By the way, one of the best most inspirational books I read about women’s sports was Vivian stringers biography.

Yes, I liked that book a great deal. It provided a lot of insight to someone I had covered a lot.
Love this list, Jane. I have not read a lot of sports books but clearly I need to get on it! So much inspiration from these women!
