Iowa six-player girls' basketball was the most successful sporting activity for girls in American history, at its zenith involving more than 70 percent of the girls in the state. The state tournament was so popular--regularly drawing fifteen thousand fans, more than the boys' tourney--that officials declined a lucrative broadcasting offer from ABC's Wide World of Sports rather than forfeit the Iowa Girls' High School Athletic Union's control of the game. The Only Dance in Iowa chronicles the one-hundred-year history of this Iowa tradition, long a symbol of the state's independence and the people's rural pride. Max McElwain shows how, well before the passage of Title IX in 1972, Iowa six-player girls' basketball was, as Sports Illustrated gushed, "a utopia for girls' athletics." He also demonstrates how, ironically enough, the fallout from Title IX in many ways led to six-girl basketball's demise. Through interviews, careful ethnography, and detailed historical analysis, McElwain exposes the intricate political, sociological, and historical dynamics of this cultural phenomenon. His book reveals how six-girl basketball, flourishing with the passionate support of Iowa's small towns, school districts, and media, came to represent the state's strong traditional beliefs and the public school system's determination to maintain its identity in the face of national educational trends. The Only Dance in Iowa is as much a study of this disappearing culture as of the game it claimed as its own.Binding Type: Paperback

Very pretty
Color: Black, Color: Black
This sink caddy is very pretty. It is easy to use. It has slots for brushes and whatnot. Keep in mind that not all soap bottles will fit in it though. I had to adjust my soap bottle to fit, so it kind of took up space where I could have put a little more things that same space. If you have round sponges like the ones I have, they can fit where you put the soap dispenser. It just all depends on what size soap dispenser you have in there. The quality has been good so far. It's easy to clean the bottom of the tray. It simply just slides in and out. Very easy. I recommend this.

Just perfect!

Exactly what I was looking for. Room for many cleaning tools and soap. Keeps clean and dry the top of the sink. Beautiful style and sturdy.

Great for those who have little to practically no counter space
Color: Black
For such a small item, it holds a lot. It holds my regular scrub brush, my cast iron scrub brush, my green scour pad...two of them, my dish cloth any my nylon scrubber.
It takes up little room, but keeps the sink area from looking so cluttered
Update. While the body of this unit is still in great shape, the bottom has rusted so bad it broke. I will be buying a different caddy.

Beautiful, but not as durable as expected
Color: Black
We’ve been using this soap holder for about a year and while it is functional and fits our space nicely, it’s starting to rust. I’m a little disappointed that a product designed to hold wet sponges and soap doesn’t have proper coating to prevent rusting. Other than that, I love it. The tray catches runoff and easily rinses off. It home all my bottle brushes, two glass soap jars and my sponge. The design is pretty and matches my other kitchen products.
