The 1950s phenomenon of Roller Derby is back in
full force, and it's definitely not your grandma's game anymore. With
leagues in more than one hundred cities across the country, a national
tournament, and major sponsors, the new wave of the sport has gone
mainstream. No one is better qualified to tell the story of Flat Track
Derby's astronomic rise than Melissa Melicious Joulwan. As a founding
member of the Texas Rollergirls -- the league that launched the sport
and the reigning national champions -- she has helped redefine what it
means to be stylish, sporty, and sexy. With her mouthy,
tough-as-nails style, Melicious recounts her best tales from the track:
her fierce rivalries with The Wrench and Ivanna S. Pankin, the scene at
the annual national tournament, the thrill of a bout, and the
infractions that so often bring her to the penalty box.
