Women werent even allowed to sit in the press boxes at sporting events, so Mary was forced to sit with the coaches wives. But that didnt stop her.In a time when African American sports were not routinely covered, Mary went to the games and wrote about them. Garber was a sportswriter for fifty-six years and was the first woman to receive the Associated Press Sports Editors Red Smith Award, presented for major contributions in sports journalism. And now, every year the Association of Women in Sports Media presents the Mary Garber Pioneer Award in her honor to a role model for women in sports media.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091832172832,"sku":"NEW1481401203","price":17.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/miss-mary-reporting-the-true-story-of-sportswriter-mary-garber-1481401203","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
