Reviews
'Makes a dynamic case for reshuffling our gendered
assumptions about sports.'-Bust
'Convincingly argue[s] the notion that sports, like
politics, higher education, and employment generally, should
provide equal opportunity for women... Marshaling facts,
research, and opinions from biology, history, sociology,
law, media, and psychology, the authors make their feminist
argument more plausibly than does Colette Dowling in The
Frailty Myth... Highly recommended.'-Library Journal
