The documentary is a powerful study of how thirteen amateur female golfers challenged patriarchal structures to form the LPGA. It excels in portraying female leadership and competence. However, the film is limited by its 1950s setting. The historical context of professional golf in the 1950s results in a lack of racial diversity and visible LGBTQ+ representation, which affects the overall depth of diversity. Ultimately, the film serves as a significant exploration of gender-based leadership and the dismantling of traditional power dynamics within the sports world.
