Summary

The Lady Vols of Tennessee are one of the perennial powerhouses in women's college basketball. From humble beginnings in the late 1960s, when players on the court sometimes outnumbered spectators in the stands, to the recent string of national championships, there are lots of golden moments retold in this book. There are stories on Holly Warlick, aka the "Secretary of Defense"; the "Cornfed Chicks," who led the Lady Vols to their first national championship; and of course, Pat Summitt, the indomitable coach who has been at the helm for more than twenty-five years.
