Review Of Sisterhood Of The Squared Circle

Posted on August 4, 2020

“If there was a Master degree class on women’s wrestling, Laprade & Murphy’s book would be its textbook.”
Men’s professional wrestling history has been talked about in what seems like hundreds of books, DVD’s and other avenues. Women’s professional wrestling had the “Lipsticks & Dynamite” documentary and a few other avenues. However all of those avenues must take a back seat to “SISTERHOOD OF THE SQUARED CIRCLE: THE HISTORY & RISE OF WOMEN’S WRESTLING”, (ECW Press, 424pp, $18.95) written by Pat Laprade & Dan Murphy. The book has a nicely written foreward by current WWE star Nattie “Natalya” Neidhart-Wilson. 
Let me sum up the book by stating if there was a Master degree class on women’s wrestling, Laprade & Murphy’s book would be its textbook. It covers the godmother’s of wrestling like Mildred Burke, Mae Young, Fabulous Moolah & Joyce Grable and also gives the current stars like Bayley, Mercedes Martinez, Jessicka Havok, Charlotte Flair & Sasha Banks their due. In the middle are about one hundred profiles of stars of WWE, NWA, AWA & international stars as well. 

I got the chance to meet the authors at Shimmer 91 over WrestleMania weekend and told them the book is fabulous. I mentioned it felt like a history book but it it isn’t bogged down in just covering the partnership of Burke & her estranged husband Billy Wolfe who had a great stable of performers. It takes you on a ride through the annals of time including wrestling’s arrival on the new concept of the 1930-40’s known as Television. The stars of the WWF “Attitude Era” plus women I grew up watching like Wendi Richter, Sherri Martel and Medusa are covered. The guys also take time to pay tribute to the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (a new TV series on Netflix debuts this summer” and the infamous Apartment Wrestling magazine photos. 
You can buy the book in stores or through www.ECWpress.com, follow Pat on Twitter @PatLaprade and Dan through @DMurphyBooksPWI & me through @MyNameIsWojcik or www.facebook.com/KayfabeWrestlingRadio ;
