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

Benefiber is beneficial
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Benefiber works well with my IBS-C along with other supplements. It’s so much better than that other “orange-Flavored”product. This dissolves easily and is tasteless.

Great Product
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Just mix well - clumping only problem in iced drinks for me
Love that it is tasteless , as product .
I dust over hot meals and all disappears into hot food before I get to table.
I’ve reordered multiple times.

Good quality
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Seems to work as expected and looks consistent in quality. The only problem I have with it, is the opening being too small for my hand when it is running low. I bought a another brand last time with the same quality and I could reach inside. I comfortably fit men's large size gloves, so my hands aren't huge. Maybe a long handle scoop would help...

No taste or texture - it completely dissolves!
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Easy way to add fiber to diet. Stir it in coffee or a non-carbonated cold drink. You can't tell it as even added because it completely dissolves.
