Title IX was enacted in 1972 with little fanfare\, but to seismic effect; between then and now\, girls’ participation in organized sports has exploded more than 1\,000 percent. Braiding together personal narrative\, pop culture\, literature\, and history\, Ervick tells the story of how her adolescence was shaped by this boom. Ervick also explores her role as a goalkeeper—a position marked by outsider status and observation—and reveals it has drawn some of the most famed writers of our time. With wit and poignant storytelling\, The Keeper brings to life forgotten figures who understood the importance of athletics to help women step into their confidence and power—and push for equality. Full of 1980s nostalgia and heart\, The Keeper is a celebration of how far we have come and a reminder of how far we have to go.
