Part 3/11:
Christine Brennan first became interested in writing about Clark after covering several events leading up to the Paris Olympics. She noted Clark's exceptional talent and maturity, and as she observed the public's fascination with the player, a lightbulb moment hit her. The media attention surrounding Clark was palpable, as friends and colleagues who typically shied away from women’s sports began texting her about Clark's performances.
Soon after, Brennan's editor proposed a book project, and within a year, her insights and experiences culminated into a published work. The reactions from audiences, especially with the drastic increase in viewership during the NCAA Women's Final Four, provided a narrative that showcased Clark as not just an athlete but as a pivotal figure for women's sports.
