Dirt on Their Skirts

Description

If you believe baseball is only for boys, you should
think again. Rich with the history of women who
broke barriers to play the National Pastime, this
program covers 150 years of striving for equity and
diversity on the diamond. Meet the All-American
Girls Professional Baseball League of the World War
II era as well as the young ladies of the 19th century
who played the game long before they even had
the right to vote. What do skirts and strawberries,
charm school, and chaperones have to do with
baseball? Each teaches an important lesson in the
story of gals who gave their all so that boys and
girls can play side-by-side today.
