Wolfpack, written by Abby Wambach was selected as the Mason Reads book for 2020-21. All incoming freshmen received access to a complimentary e-book download of Wolfpack prior to the start of classes. Wolfpack is based on Abby Wambach’s viral 2018 commencement speech to Barnard College’s graduates in New York City. Abby Wambach delivers her empowering rally cry for women to unleash their individual power, unite with their pack, and emerge victorious together.
