Description |
This work is drawn from a collection of 161 photographs that were acquired by the Springfield Museums following their inclusion in the exhibition Game Face: What Does a Female Athlete Look Like? which toured nationally from 2001 through 2006. Depicting everyday athletes and elite competitors, these images offer an expansive and empowering answer to the question posed in the Game Face exhibition title. Tammy Overstreet is the only woman ever to have played on the Pittsburg (Texas) High School football team. She was a linebacker. "You still have your hard-nosed people who don't believe in it. But I don't think there would be any flack if a woman wanted to play football now." - Tammy Overstreet Photo taken in Pittsburg, TX, 1993. |
