Miss Mary Reporting: The True Story of Sportswriter Mary Garber

This illustrated biography tells of Mary Garber, among the first women sports journalists in the United States. In the 1940s, she encountered restrictions that kept women out of press boxes at sporting events, requiring her to sit with coaches’ wives instead. The book follows the challenges she faced as a sports reporter and notes that she later gained recognition and respect. Mixed-media illustrations use caricaturelike figures.
