    UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-EAU CLAIRE THE RACINE BELLES: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE STARS OF THE ALL-AMERICAN GIRLS PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL LEAGUE A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS BY JACQUELINE E. DUPONT EAU CLAIRE, WISCONSIN MAY 2010 Copyright for this work is owned by the author. This digital version is published by McIntyre Library, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with the consent of the author. Abstract This thesis will survey the rise and fall of the Racine Belles, an All-American Girls Professional Baseball team that was created to save professional baseball during the 1940s and 1950s. During this time, Major League Baseball’s leading players joined the war effort to combat the Axis powers during the Second World War, creating a fear that the loss of these men could lead to the end of the sport. This thesis questions why the popular and victorious Belles were disbanded sooner than other AAGPBL teams. This triumphant event in women’s history and the effects of the Racine Belles and other AAGPBL teams’ success on the future of women’s sports still lingers. The research for this paper consisted of studying multiple secondary sources such as historical monographs and scholarly journals. More importantly, the research includes the use of primary sources from the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. ii Contents LIST OF FIGURES iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS v INTRODUCTION 1 REVIEW OF SECONDARY LITERATURE 5 WHILE THE BOYS ARE AWAY 5 THE WOMEN BACK HOME 8 THE AAGPBL 11 CREATION

  • Women in Baseball Is a Crucial One to Understand Because It Parallels the Rise and Fall of the Women’S Liberation Movement Throughout the History of the United States
    TOMBERG RARE BOOKS PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE AND EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All American Girls Baseball League OVERVIEW The history of women in baseball is a crucial one to understand because it parallels the rise and fall of the women’s liberation movement throughout the history of the United States. Women’s participation in baseball is a result of social, political and economic factors that provided women the opportunity to step outside traditional roles and to participate in baseball. WORK URL 2 SCOPE AND CONTENT The Pioneers in the History of Women’s Baseball Collection dates from the early mid 1800s to the 1970s, and includes photographs, press photos, team photographs, game programs, scorecards, tickets, postcards, schedules, posters, newspaper articles, magazines, and a note, all highlighting the many women and teams that were an integral part of the history of women’s baseball. The ephemeral nature of the primary sources of the collection are rare and quite scarce due to the quasi- neglect in which women’s baseball was held by commercial and media channels. 3 PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL: PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE & EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All-American Girls Baseball League $8,500 DETAILS 14 black and white photos of pioneering women in early baseball.
