These women paved the way for Serena Williams, Carli Lloyd, and Lindsey Vonn, yet few today know who they are. Slowly but surely, the account gained a following, and the result is \u003ci\u003eGame Changers\u003c\/i\u003e, a beautifully illustrated collection of these trailblazers' rarely-before-seen photos and stories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeaturing icons Althea Gibson and Wyomia Tyus, complete unknowns Trudy Beck and Conchita Cintron, policymaker Margaret Dunkle, sportswriter Lisa Olson, and many more, \u003ci\u003eGame Changers\u003c\/i\u003e gives these \"founding mothers\" the attention and recognition they deserve, and features critical conversations between past and present gamechangers--including former US Women's National Soccer Team captain Abby Wambach and SportsCenter anchor Cari Champion--about what it means to be a woman on and off the field.
