Iowa six-player girls' basketball was the most successful sporting activity for girls in American history, at its zenith involving more than 70 percent of the girls in the state. The state tournament was so popular--regularly drawing fifteen thousand fans, more than the boys' tourney--that officials declined a lucrative broadcasting offer from ABC's Wide World of Sports rather than forfeit the Iowa Girls' High School Athletic Union's control of the game. The Only Dance in Iowa chronicles the one-hundred-year history of this Iowa tradition, long a symbol of the state's independence and the people's rural pride. Max McElwain shows how, well before the passage of Title IX in 1972, Iowa six-player girls' basketball was, as Sports Illustrated gushed, "a utopia for girls' athletics." He also demonstrates how, ironically enough, the fallout from Title IX in many ways led to six-girl basketball's demise. Through interviews, careful ethnography, and detailed historical analysis, McElwain exposes the intricate political, sociological, and historical dynamics of this cultural phenomenon. His book reveals how six-girl basketball, flourishing with the passionate support of Iowa's small towns, school districts, and media, came to represent the state's strong traditional beliefs and the public school system's determination to maintain its identity in the face of national educational trends. The Only Dance in Iowa is as much a study of this disappearing culture as of the game it claimed as its own.Binding Type: Paperback

Works really well and it actually holds a lot

Great product I love that you can put it extended open or or not depending on the width of your silverware drawer on your kitchen or you can use it for tools. You can use it for nuts and bolts. You can use it for I don’t know paintbrushes if you want to. I don’t know if you really want to. I have one in my kitchen and I have one in my living room in my bedroom just to put pens and stuff like that in them. If you have a wide silverware cabinet drawers, you can extend it a lot more than what you see in my picture, but I was able to extend it way more than what was there before and I really like how it is.

Exactly as expected

This expandable silverware organizer made such a difference in my kitchen drawers. It sounds dramatic for a utensil organizer, but it genuinely made everything feel cleaner, more organized, and less chaotic. I love that it expands because it made it super easy to customize to my drawer size instead of awkwardly leaving unused space.
The compartments are roomy enough to hold a lot without everything getting jumbled together, and I like that there are enough sections for silverware plus extra kitchen tools and gadgets. It helped me finally give everything a designated place, which is especially satisfying when setting up a new kitchen.
Even though it’s plastic, it doesn’t feel flimsy or cheap. It feels sturdy once in the drawer, slides open smoothly, and has held up really well with daily use. I also appreciate that it’s lightweight and easy to wipe clean if crumbs or dust get inside.
Overall, this is one of those simple organizational purchases that makes everyday life easier. My kitchen drawers look so much more put together now, and it’s nice not having to dig through clutter every time I need a fork or cooking utensil. Definitely worth it for anyone trying to organize their kitchen without spending a ton.
