In her debut "mostly memoirella," Don’t Let Them Eat the Baby, Erica Vanstone makes the case for women’s sports as community lifeline and cultural treasure. Part narrative, part historical nonfiction, and all heart, Don’t Let Them Eat the Baby is told in raw, unrelenting style by one of the architects of the sport. Now, more than ever, the world needs safer sport spaces like roller derby, steeped in authenticity and belonging. Told in no-holds-barred narrative memoir and nonfiction, Vanstone shares how her own flaws, strengths, failures, successes, and heartaches would help to shape the most revolutionary, community-led feminist sport in modern sports history. And why roller derby is the greatest sport never sold.
