Sinossi

This story begins in the alleys of Philadelphia, 1962. Rose Callahan was born an athlete. As a young child she wants nothing more than to play organized baseball, but the rules say she can’t—for one reason: she's a girl.
When Rose Callahan is told "no," she refuses to accept it. With the unwavering support of her family and friends, she challenges a rule that many accept without question.
What begins as one young girl's determination to step onto the baseball field becomes a journey of courage, resilience, perseverance, and determination.
As Rose grows into adulthood, she encounters similar discrimination when she enters the worlds of business and science.
THEY SAID NO GIRLS is a powerful work of historical fiction inspired by the gender barriers females encounter in sports and life. More than a baseball story, it is about proving that ability should matter more than gender.
Sometimes changing the rules begins with one person refusing to accept them.
