Inaugural ballers : the true story of the first US women's Olympic basketball team / Andrew Maraniss.

Maraniss, Andrew, (author.).

Summary:

Twenty years before women's soccer became an Olympic sport and two decades before the formation of the WNBA, the 1976 US women's basketball team laid the foundation for the incredible rise of women's sports in America at the youth, collegiate, Olympic, and professional levels. Though they were unknowns from small schools such as Delta State University, the University of Tennessee at Martin, and John F. Kennedy College of Wahoo, Nebraska, at the time of the '76 Olympics, the American team included a roster of players who would go on to become some of the most legendary figures in the history of basketball. Led by coach Billie Moore, Pat Head, Nancy Lieberman, Ann Meyers, Luisa Harris, and their underdog teammates took on the world and proved everyone wrong.
