| Sumario: | Female athletes are too often perceived as interlopers in the historically male-dominated world of sports. Obstacles specific to women in sports are of particular focus in this book. Race, sexual orientation, and the similar qualities ancillary to gender bear special exploration in how they impact an athlete's story. Central to this volume is the contention that women in their role as inherent outsiders are placed in a unique position even more complicated than the usual experiences of inequality and discord associated with race and sports. |
