Making Her Mark is the definitive reference for women's athletic achievements.

Billie Jean King, six-time Wimbledom champion and founder of the Women's Sports Foundation calls Making Her Mark "a momentous achievement. Ernestine Miller's amazing compilation of people and events in over fifty sports documents the rich legacy of women athletes in the U.S., from the unsung trailblazers of the past to the popular heroes of today."
