A League of Their Own Womanhood

Jimmy Dugan: Hey, where did you come from?
Dottie Hinson: Well, we got as far as Yellowstone Park... then we turned back.
Jimmy Dugan: Had a little trouble with the bears, did ya?
This chick HERE applauds A League of Their Own's varying forms of feminism.

The film does an excellent job of showing that each woman's relationship to baseball was subtly different. This is partly accomplished during their social time, and also through montages where they get good, get famous, get dirty, get bruised up — not necessarily in that order. Here's Rosie O'Donnell's character Doris finding confidence in her own skill and strength. (And, if you wish, there's some lesbian foreshadowing here, although at least one feminist critique points out that Marshall erased the lesbians of the real-life league, although it gives her kudos for a 5-second acknowledgment of the existence of black women with athletic talent.)

You know Xmastime loves him some A League of Their Own, a personal super-slice.
