Mia Hamm became the face of Women's Soccer - this graphic novel shares her story: from the first moment she touched a soccer ball to the 1999 Women's World Cup final.
She (and her teammates) inspired a generation of women. She didn't give up; her work ethic was amazing.
I love how this graphic novel shares the history of that women's soccer team, and how they exploded into popularity. They made women's soccer exciting.
There are two pieces after the story ends:
1. update on players today
2. how the women fought for a won equal pay (honestly, this could have been its own graphic novel)
It's important to see the history so we can see how far we have come.
