Used Book in Good Condition
My aunt probably played against her. She was a player for the New York Stars at the same time Meyers was in the WPBL (the first women's pro league).
> Weird how I never heard of her before.
It's no surprise. Women's basketball in the 1970's and 80's was a completely different sport. There was really no level of national recognition. The played in pretty crazy conditions, were paid almost nothing, and there was always a fear of their teams folding. There's a great book about the first women's pro league, Mad Seasons, that I highly recommend if you're interested in the topic.
The only female players of that era that ever became household names were those that made it big later.
