Inside Hail Mary: The Rise and Fall of the National Women's Football League
Update: 2021-11-03
Description
Did you know there was a professional women's football league in the 1970's that sparked so much of the progress for women in football we see today?
(12:02 ) This week Melissa welcomes Britni de la Cretaz and Lyndsey D'Arcangelo, co-authors of the new book Hail Mary which dives into the little known yet incredibly fascinating world of the National Women's Football League. The conversation weaves through the makeup of these trailblazers, why they wanted to play football, their often jaw-dropping success on the field. the men who supported them and those who treated them like a gimmick, plus the stream of misogyny these women faced. No, male reporter of the 70's, getting hit in the boob with a football doesn't cause breast cancer!
Hail Mary is available online and in bookstores: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781645036623
