Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend tells the inspiring story of Nicole Sherry McFadyen, one of only two women in history to be named Head Groundskeeper of a Major League Baseball team. Beginning with her first internship, the film shows how McFadyen rose through the ranks to become a leading innovator in the field and ultimately take the prestigious head job at storied Camden Yards in Baltimore. If you're looking for ways to counter negative gender stereotypes with a positive and powerful vision of women's leadership, this is an ideal classroom resource.
