Based on the author's true story, during a chance encounter with the famous feminist Gloria Steinem, Louisa learns about Title IX, the recently passed law that promises equalopportunities for girls. Soon she sets out to win a girls' basketball league for her city's public schools. The journey toward equality for girls in her high school and city takes her far beyond basketball. No Stopping Us Now is a story about finding one's own voice through the joys of sports, love, and the power of sisterhood"
