Reviews
"Laprade and Murphy, both veteran wrestling journalists, do an excellent job guiding readers chronologically through the ups and downs of women's wrestling . . . Fascinating sports history." - Booklist "A concise, yet encyclopedic compendium of the past, present, and future of women's wrestling, Sisterhood of the Squared Circle is an essential addition to the home libraries of astute wrestling aficionados. We give it 4.5 out of five suplexes." - Pro Wrestling Illustrated "I remember years ago I was at the Cauliflower Alley Club and Paul Boesch pointed out Clara Mortensen to me, saying she was the world champion of women's wrestling before Mildred Burke. At that time, most people didn't know there was women's wrestling before Moolah. Boesch told me about names that almost nobody knew or remembered. Pat Laprade and Dan Murphy, in their book, change all that, as they tell the story of how women's wrestling was born, grew, changed, and had its ups and downs all over the world. Sisterhood of the Squared Circle tells you about the stars of today who you may know and the stars who built the sport but are mostly unknown to modern fans." - Dave Meltzer, Wrestling Observer, "Pat Laprade and Dan Murphy's Sisterhood of the Squared Circle is full of anecdotes and trivia from over a century of wrestling." -- National Post
