Program Details

We all know about Caitlin Clark, but did you know that the state of Iowa played a vital role in the growth of women’s basketball across the country even before Caitlin’s rise in popularity? 

Join authors Pamela Grundy and Susan Shackelford to learn about the deep history of women’s basketball presented in their book, Shattering the Glass: The Remarkable History of Women’s Basketball. 

Books will be available for purchase courtesy of Beaverdale Books, and the authors will sign books after the event.


Presented in partnership with Ames Public Library, Iowa Center for the Book, Ames History Museum, Beaverdale Books, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Iowa Lakeside Laboratory, and State Historical Society of Iowa.
