Join us as we watch films that celebrate women's efforts during World War II. A look at the first women's professional baseball league is set during World War II and focuses on the rivalry between sisters, one a sweet-swinging catcher and the other a pouty, impulsive pitcher, who play on the same team, which is managed by a washed-up, hard-drinking ex-Major Leaguer. 128 minutes. For more information, please contact the branch at 305-535-4219 or capleyb@mdpls.org. Ages 8 yrs.+
From stepping into athletes' shoes on the home front, to facing the evils of war head on, join us each week for a film that depicts the experiences of women during World War II.
