The Keeper: Soccer, Me, and the Law That Changed… di Kelcey Ervick

A quick and moving graphic novel that has never been more timely! Kelcey Ervick was a top soccer player in the 80s and was in the first wave of female athletes. This graphic novel reflects on the history of women's soccer, her youth spent playing soccer and what it meant to be a young female in the 80s, the ramifications of title IX, and growth of women's sports. The illustrations are top notch and the story is timely and inspiring. A must read for athletes, feminists, and more!

The Keeper: Soccer, Me, and the Law That Changed… di Kelcey Ervick

This is a graphic memoir that cover's the writer's high school and college experience's as a soccer goalkeeper, the history of women's soccer (football), Title IX, etc. The art in this is really good, and I thought she did a good job covering the issues. I saw some reviews who thought it didn't have enough detail, but that seems unrealistic in a graphic format. I did think that the author's own story was not super-interesting, but honestly, that made her relatable.

The Keeper: Soccer, Me, and the Law That Changed… di Kelcey Ervick

Kelcey Ervick provides a nice autobiography about playing soccer as a girl in the 1980s and on a college team in the 1990s. She fills out her own memories with a brief look at the women who started playing soccer a hundred years earlier and an outline sketch of how Title IX came about and changed women's athletics. As writers are wont to do, she also spends a lot of time on her personal journey from athlete to author, latching onto former soccer players Vladimir Nabokov and Albert Camus for their insights.

The book covers a lot of ground, but rarely pauses to really dig in, skimming through nostalgic moments and "didja know" facts with nearly equal weight.

This is one of those graphic memoirs that is mostly handwritten blocks of text chunked around one or three illustrations per page. Still, it read quickly and I never got bogged down even when it meandered around into its many digressions and side jaunts.… (altro)

The Keeper: Soccer, Me, and the Law That Changed… di Kelcey Ervick

graphic memoir - excelling at soccer (at US National level ) as a team of highschoolers, plus women's history in the game. I loved the beautiful artwork (and faultless hand-penned lettering, which takes some effort even if computers help immensely); the story didn't grab me as much as might an actual football fan, but I still enjoyed the production.
