¡Ahora en español! ¡No corren! ¡No precalientan ni se esfuerzan! Y jamás transpiran. Las chicas no pueden practicar deportes. Al menos eso es lo que creían los hombres.

La industria del deporte era para hombres, o al menos así lo pensaban ellos, hasta que en 1972 se aprobó el Título IX. Eso cambió las reglas de juego.

Now in Spanish! No chasing! No stretching or straining! And never, ever sweat. Girls can’t play sports. At least, that's what the men believed.

Sports was a boys only industry, or so they thought, until Title IX passed in 1972. And it was a game-changer.

¡Chicas con agallas! es una celebración a la fortaleza, la resistencia y el espíritu atlético de las mujeres y niñas a través de los tiempos. Brinda ejemplos de mujeres atletas desde fines de los 1800 hasta 1970, y nos enseña de qué manera las mujeres no aceptaron un no como respuesta y cómo lucharon por una ley que protege los derechos a practicar deportes, competir y ser atletas.

A celebration of the strength, endurance, and athleticism of women and girls throughout the ages, Girls With Guts! keeps score with examples of women athletes from the late 1800s up through the 1970s, sharing how women refused to take no for an answer, and how finally, they pushed for a law to protect their right to play, compete, and be athletes.

This Spanish-language translation of Girls with Guts: The Road to Breaking Barriers and Bashing Records traces the history of women’s sports from the 1800s through to the 1970s, when the women’s rights movement, fight for Title IX equal rights for competitors, and landmark court case in New Jersey that allowed girls to play in Little League Baseball turned the tide. Specific key female figures in sports history are depicted. Some of these pioneers include Senda Bernsen Abbot, considered the mother of women’s basketball; Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim across the English Channel; and Althea Gibson, who was the first person of color to get a grand slam in tennis. There is also a reference to sports in Ancient Greece and the Heraean Games—women’s footraces dedicated to the goddess Hera. The straightforward translation will be accessible to young readers. Gibbon’s full-color, fanciful illustrations complement each page’s focus. This nonfiction work includes a timeline of groundbreaking women in sports history, an author’s note about the expression “play like a girl,” and a detailed bibliography, including further reading. VERDICT This nonfiction picture book has a place in every collection. This would also make a great curricular tie-in.
