Pamela Grundy & Susan Shackelford 
Shattering the Glass 
The Remarkable History of Women’s Basketball

Reaching back over a century of struggle, liberation, and gutsy play,
Shattering the Glass is a sweeping chronicle of women’s basketball in the United States. Offering vivid portraits of forgotten heroes and contemporary stars, Pamela Grundy and Susan Shackelford provide a broad perspective on the history of the sport, exploring its close relationship to concepts of womanhood, race, and sexuality, and to efforts to expand women’s rights.



Extensively illustrated and drawing on original interviews with players, coaches, administrators, and broadcasters,
Shattering the Glass presents a moving, gritty view of the game on and off the court. It is both an insightful history and an empowering story of the generations of women who have shaped women’s basketball.
