Court Queens

by Emma Baccellieri and Jordan Robinson

A definitive, first-of-its-kind, richly photographic celebration of women’s basketball captures the passion, energy, and skill of the sport—and the many players and coaches who helped build it.

Deeply researched and deftly written, this love letter to the game covers the history of college and professional women’s basketball through vivid portraits of forgotten heroes, individual games, unforgettable moments, and iconic teams and seasons. Journalists and superfans Emma Baccellieri and Jordan Robinson begin with Senda Berenson introducing the game to women at Smith College in 1892—where the players wore ankle-length skirts!—and chart the growth of the sport around the country over the decades that followed. From six-on-six to five-on-five, college to professional to international, they cover the people who have defined women’s basketball.
