Mawson's Mission: Launching Women's Intercollegiate Athletics at the University of KansasBefore 1968, women's athletics in higher education meant playdays and sports days. That spring, when the Division of Girls and Women in Sports announced that national collegiate sports championships for women would begin in 1969, Marlene Mawson, a new hire on the physical education faculty at the University of Kansas, was charged with establishing a women's athletics program.

Before 1968, women's athletics in higher education meant playdays and sports days. That spring, when the Division of Girls and Women in Sports announced that national collegiate sports championships for women would begin in 1969, Marlene Mawson, a new hire on the physical education faculty at the University of Kansas, was charged with establishing a women's athletics program. "I was on my own," Mawson recalls, "because there was no precedent for creating a women's athletics program with a meager budget." That meant planning sports competition schedules, staffing coaches, organizing policies and procedures for coaches and athletes, coordinating practice schedules, budgeting, and directing the new KU intercollegiate sports program for women without intervention or guidance. In their first decade, KU women's teams competed in national championships in volleyball, basketball, softball, and gymnastics. In this book, Mawson, who was inducted into the KU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009, describes her remarkable career, from her early years in Missouri to her retirement. With behind-the-scenes views and insights that reflect a lifetime's experience, her memoir weaves together the history of the development of women's athletics at the University of Kansas and the story of the birth of women's intercollegiate athletics across the United States--from the Olympic Development Committee to Title IX to the NCAA. It is an engaging account of groundbreaking personal achievement by a woman in the world of college sports, and a stirring record of an extraordinary but little-documented decade in the evolution of women's athletics.Binding Type: Hardcover

This stuff really works — turns sunburn into a tan! ☀️🌺⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was skeptical, but this really does what it says! I got a little too much sun and used this right after showering no peeling, no pain, and within a day or two, my skin turned a gorgeous golden brown instead of burning. It feels soothing, smells great, and absorbs quickly without being sticky. Definitely a must-have for beach trips or after any sun exposure. I’ll never go without it again!

Saved My Skin and Left Me With a Tan (and I'm a Redhead!)
Disclosure: For the first week I did layer the Burn to Brown with Solar Recover Save Your Skin Spray
As a redhead who accidentally used 30 spf for a long weekend on the beach - this stuff 100% works!!! 3 months later and I still have a tan!!! Not only did it turn the burn to tan, it also cooled down my skin so I could sleep a little more comfortably! For the first week I used both the Burn to Brown lotion (which I prefer for it's cooling effect) and Solar Recovery spray (which I believe helped more with peeling). Would 100% buy both again, especially if you're like me and spend every free moment at the beach despite your fair skin. I used generously multiple times a day after my horrible burn and still had half a bottle left.

Highly recommend!!
I honestly cannot put words how much this stuff has helped my sunburn. It smells good, instantly make the burn feel better, and lasts a long time. If you need something, that’s a little bit better than aloe vera 10 out of 10 would recommend this one!!!

URGENT NOTE: Test in a small area first! Worked, but I'm covered in a rash from contact dermatitis.
You may want to test this stuff on a small area first before slathering it on. I had a bit of sunburn on my face and after showering, applied the gel and it worked great! Then.....contact dermatitis. My whole face blew up in a rash. Unfortunately, this didn't happen until the second day and I had already used the gel on my arms and legs as well. My face has cleared up, but the rest of me looks like I rolled around in poison ivy. I want to scratch my skin off. Pics don't do it justice. This is day 4 of the rash breaking out, so it's cleared up a little and I plan to borderline OD on benadryl this evening before I scratch my skin off. I wish I wasn't allergic, because it truly did work for my sunburn. I've not peeled at all and I was rather crispy.
