Biographical notes:

Chase designed interview questions to illuminate the whole person, not simply the athlete. The interviewees were asked about their home communities, hopes and expectations as students, campus labor assignments, and what they studied. They reminisced about their teachers and their coaches, classmates, and teammates and what they have been doing since graduation. They also noted benefits from their experiences as Berea College students and athletes. Their stories document the transition from the 1960s, when there were no varsity women's teams at Berea and other Kentucky colleges, to the present day, when experiences of female athletes closely approximate those of their male counterparts.
