  • Nicknames and Women Professional Baseball Players Brenda S
    Names, Vol. 38, No.4 (December) Nicknames and Women Professional Baseball Players Brenda S. Wilson and James K. Skipper, Jr. Abstract Although women in the general population tend to have fewer nicknames than men, women baseball players in the All-American Girls Baseball League, 1943-1954, were as likely as male baseball players to have public nicknames. This high percentage may be the result of women baseball players taking on the role of nicknamer, since the group in power is more likely to bestow public nicknames and more likely to bestow them on members of their own group. Public nicknames may be a reflection of the power differential between men and women in a given environment. ***** Although it is generally recognized that nicknames are an important cultural element in American society, systematic research has been sparse, and almost none of it focuses on women. In sports, nicknaming has probably been more prevalent than in other areas of American life (Blount). Professional baseball provides a rich source of data to study the use of nicknames in American society.1 Professional baseball is usually thought of as a man's activity, but in the 1940s women played in a professional league. As with men, nicknames were commonly used, and it is the objective of this report to investigate the extent of nickname use and the types of nicknames these women ball players had. The goal is to better understand the use of women's nicknames in American society. Women's Professional Baseball In 1943, Philip K. Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, created the All-American Girls Baseball League.

  • Women's Basketball and the American Dream
    DOLORES DYER: WOMEN'S BASKETBALL AND THE AMERICAN DREAM Jackie Roberts, B.S.Ed., M.Ed. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2012 APPROVED: Randolph B. Campbell, Major Professor J. Todd Moye, Committee Member D. Harland Hagler, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Roberts, Jackie. Dolores Dyer: Women’s Basketball and the American Dream. Master of Arts (History), December 2012, 110 pp., bibliography, 133 titles. Dolores Dyer played from 1952-1953 for the Texas Cowgirls, a barnstorming women’s basketball team that provided a form of entertainment popular throughout the United States in that era. The story of Dyer’s life demonstrates how a woman could attempt to achieve the American dream—a major theme in American history—through success in athletic competition. Dyer’s participation with the Texas Cowgirls also provides a look into the circumstances that limited women’s participation in professional sport during the mid-twentieth century. Women’s sports studies, although some are very thorough, have gaps in the research, and women’s barnstorming basketball is one of the areas often overlooked. In light of this gap, this thesis relies on a variety of sources, including primary documents from unpublished collections, archived materials, and original oral histories from several members of the Texas Cowgirls team. This thesis contains analysis of the socioeconomic factors that influenced Dolores Dyer’s maturation into a professional basketball player, examines what the American dream meant to her, and evaluates the extent to which she achieved it.
