About the Book
In Nobody Baby But Mine, Susan K. Cahn brings to life the extraordinary journey of the Chicago Stars, the first all-female baseball team that defied societal norms and blazed a trail for women in sports. Through meticulous research and firsthand accounts, Cahn paints a vivid portrait of these remarkable women who overcame countless obstacles to pursue their passion for baseball.
Led by the indomitable Mae Faggs, the Stars emerged during a time when women were expected to stay home and raise children. But these women refused to be confined by societal expectations. They organized their own team, played in front of sold-out crowds, and even took on men's teams. Their unwavering determination and love for the game inspired countless others and forever changed the landscape of baseball.
Nobody Baby But Mine tells the story of the Chicago Stars from their humble beginnings to their triumphant rise as one of the most successful women's baseball teams in history. Along the way, we meet the extraordinary women who made up the team, including Mamie Johnson, the first woman to play professional baseball against men; Connie Morgan, the team's star pitcher; and Effa Manley, the team's business manager who fought tirelessly for the rights of women in baseball.
Nobody Baby But Mine is more than just a sports story. It is a story of courage, determination, and the power of dreams. It is a story that will inspire and empower readers of all ages. If you love baseball, if you admire strong women, or if you simply believe in the power of the human spirit, then you will love Nobody Baby But Mine.
