Unveiling "Court Queens": The Hidden History of Women’s Basketball from Skirts to Slam Dunks!

In a delightful new release, Jordan Robinson has joined forces with Emma Baccellieri to craft“Court Queens,”a coffee table book that explores the fascinating evolution of women’s basketball from its beginnings in the 1800s to the powerhouse that is the WNBA today. Packed with vintage photos and captivating narratives, the book shines a spotlight on the trailblazing women who have played the sport throughout its rich history.

Robinson, who calls Sacramento home, is not just any author. She’s a former high school basketball star who’s transitioned into a prominent sports journalist. While some may view women’s basketball as a recent phenomenon, Robinson reveals that women have been competitively playing the game since basketball was invented. From the players in long dresses and high heels to today’s MVPs, the contrasts are staggering.

For those eager to meet Robinson, there’s a special book signing event at The Guild Theater tonight from 6 to 7 p.m. With just a ticket price of $40.95, attendees not only get a chance to meet the author but also walk away with a copy of this fabulous book.

It might just inspire you to lace up and join the game yourself!
